Moctesuma Esparza Influence

Many of the Latinos that were the targets were young teens trying to find a way to express themselves, and because of the actions of these Anglo Sailors and police, they got that freedom taken away from them. Therefore, this was a negative impact because even the police were oppressing Latinos from freedom of expression. The Zoot Suit Riots were not the only times Latinos were discriminated, and it just wasn’t teens that were subject to oppression. In document P, it shows a photo and article of Macario Garcia, the first Mexican National to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Order. Unfortunately, at a diner in his hometown, he was refused service because they told him, “we don’t serve Mexicans in here”. This proves that Latinos were impacted negatively because they came back from the war expected to be seen as equal and American as whites since they spilled their blood for the protect their country, yet due to the racist beliefs of many they were still discriminated. Another impact that affected Latinos was the Bracero program. According to A History of the Mexican American People, they contracted over 100,000 Mexicans to work on manual labor during the

Cesar Chavez is best known for using non-violent methods to fight for the rights of migrant farm workers. It is people like Cesar Chavez that give people hope to continue, regardless of the situation. Cesar Chavez is also remembered for all of his very powerful speeches that made a difference in this world for Mexican-Americans. For instance, in his address to the Commonwealth Club of California, Cesar Chavez used diction and different types of rhetorical appeals and details to help change American history for Hispanics in order for them to gain better pay and working conditions.

Well, moctezuma did have a great impact on changing worldviews, his decision to letting the strangers in was one of his biggest mistakes, then when he died he made it hard for aztec society to plan ahead and fight the spanish.Knowledge for the society changed by a big number, moctezuma had a lot of experience and knowledge about all about this stuff, after all he had won 43 battles. Even though he had passed his knowledge to warriors, though with moctezuma not being there when they needed was hard,because he may have other ideas. There was a big impact on economy as well. After moctezuma got house arrest, he died, though after the aztec pele and spanish wine t on war. Then the spanish had disease, which was smallpox, which was spreading over

But, when the idea comes to integrate the school system and bring the colored students to Woodlawn this sparked new ideas for equality. It was just this small step that created a path for bigger things to come. When they started working together it gave hope to a cause that was not even considered before. Even more than that they contributed to the overall movement in civil rights which was a big ordeal especially around the time of Martin Luther King

Every little thing a person does has an impact. Whether it’s only posting something on social media or confronting the problem head-on, what a person does can change anything. While Mother Jones and Saru Jayaraman came face-to-face with solving workers’ rights, Cesar Chavez worked through an organization to get migration farmers better work. Although these individuals used different methods, they all showed leadership and courage to fight for the equality and the safety for others.

He also attended the conference called “Chicano Youth Leadership” at Malibu to meet high school students to portray their experience to the movie. Esparza had consciousness that there was something he could do as Chicano that would shape on the work of those that have experience that before them. He said “It was an extremely democratic movement”. This is an important quote that signifies that those movements serve to bring light, hope and effect upon the society issues that affect different facets of our society. Esparza is a patriotic since he is contributing to the country by creating a new change. He identify himself as the people who were on the walkout protest because they were mostly honor students with high achievers, activist, and also because both his career and students from the walkout were gathering to get the society know what was happening with all the issues they were facing at. He challenges the students to hold responsibility and authority for the future of their country as a

He also had a desire to help the least advantaged in society. While teaching Mexican-American children in Cotulla, Texas, that exposed him to poverty and discrimination.

To compare, the two cases “Plessy V. Ferguson” and the “Brown V. Board of Education” were protesting the rights of people with color and how we should all be equal even if our skin is a different color. At first Plessy’s case was ruled unconstitutional until after Brown brought his case to court and it was constitutional, so now Plessy’s case will now be signed and ratified to become a law. The case “Brown v. Board of Education” will forever be one of the most revolutionary cases of all time. If it weren’t for people like this who stand up for what they believe in then we would still be

The third thing I learned was that everyone went to boycott on behalf of the Chicano rights and the Farmers rights. With the help of Brown, blacks, and whites the Chicanos voices were heard from the School

To understand Cesar’s mission, you must understand the dynamics of anti-Latino racism in America. Cesar Chavez was a first-generation American, the son of Mexican immigrants, and many wouldn’t even consider him American due to

There are many Hispanic people that are remembered today and that children learn about throughout their years at school because Hispanics are also a part of American culture. The person I chose to research and caught my attention was Salvador Castro who was a social studies teacher.Castro has the trait of being a risk taker because when he would be teaching in his school he would fight for the rights to demand bilingual and learn about Mexican American history. Salvador Castro began his teaching career in Belmont High School in Los Angeles where he saw a bunch of Hispanics being discriminated him and to protect them he would fight for prejudice. Many of the Hispanics he saw weren’t able to be elected as candidates

Many of us today know about Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a Dream” speech; yet, Cesar Chavez gave a similar speech about a different crisis and we fail to recognize it. Martin Luther King, Jr. became a leader in the Civil Rights Movement to end racial segregation and discrimination in America during the 1950's and 1960's. He hoped to obtain equality through nonviolent actions. Cesar Chavez was the leader of the United Farm Workers of America, who saw the hopes for better lives for Mexican, Mexican American, and Hispanic workers in the United States. Although Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar wrote about two very different topics they tend to have many similarities throughout their speeches discussing what we as a nation need to do to solve each problem.

Although the movement was localized in Mexico City and was represented elsewhere in weaker forms, the social and political implications that the movement had has a deeper impact in Mexican history. Although the students initiated the movement in response to the acts of disproportionate violence that the government acted in towards the students, it continued to be fueled by underlying issues with the government. For one, the students were enraged at the expenditures that Mexico was making for the Olympic Games; they viewed the Olympic Games as a spectacle for the world, while the people in Mexico lived in mediocre conditions. Students wanted to “strip away the mask and destroy forever the myth” of the PRI.

Throughout many cities, in specifically Los Angeles, five high schools were faced with discrimination. Lincoln, Garfield, Wilson, Belmont, Roosevelt high schools was targeted in many racist ways. These high schools had restricted rules towards students. Majority of the student populations in these schools were Latinxs. They faced problems that were not as necessary problematic. According to Jose Angel Gutierrez, “English was the only language allowed spoken in the classroom and schoolyard. Severe punishment awaited the bold who uttered their native Spanish language within earshot of school officials”(2). Students were forbidden to speak Spanish during school hours. Students were forbidden from using the bathroom, especially during lunchtime. Students were denied to be taught their Mexican-American history. Students were mostly being led into the labor industry instead of going to college and getting a degree. According to E. Esparza (2006), “We had a huge conference that summer of 1967, in which college students — there were a couple of hundred — came together from throughout Southern California. It was basically almost everyone who was in college then, because there was less than 2% of all Chicanos that even enrolled in college”. Students were discriminated by many teachers and administrators. Administrators were not responsible and repeatedly called out, leaving small staff to teach the students. Students did not only receive these discriminatory actions, they also

Through this experience, I was given the platform to make great changes within the community and especially in the Latin community. Last summer I wrote, starred and produced my own segment on the lack of young Latino voters in Hartford, CT. I spoke to many people as well as then mayoral candidates, Pedro Segarra (former mayor of Hartford), Joel Cruz Jr. and Luke Bronin (current mayor of Hartford). Through this project I was able to get a better feel of the mistrust between the public and the politicians. I was also able to provide a voice to those who needed it and didn’t have the platform to do it. Because of this project, it stirred a conversation within the community to the point that there was a meeting held at the Hartford Library between young Latino voters and leaders of the community. It was such a satisfying accomplishment that my work sparked fire into people’s heart to where they wanted to educate themselves to have a clearer understanding of what is at stake if they do not take on their duty to
