By 1939, activists like Blanca Rosa Rodriguez de Leon better known as Luisa Moreno (instead of Blanca Rosa, which means white rose, she changed her name to Luisa, perhaps in honor of Luisa Capetillo and “Moreno,” which is a term in Spanish used to refer to darker skin complexions), along with other activists like Josefina Fierro, Eduardo Quevedo and Bert Corona helped establish the first national Latino civil rights conference, El Congreso de Pueblos de Hablan Española who worked to end segregation in public facilities, housing, education, and employment (Ruiz 667). They also worked with universities to create Latino studies departments in order to advocate the preservation of Latino cultures, rather than assimilation (Ruiz 668). These organizations helped some of the nearly five hundred thousand Latino-American veterans that returned from World War II. Later they worked to end segregation in various facets of life for Latino-Americans’ like in court cases Mendez v. Westminster (1947) and Perez v. Sharp (1948), which ended

The latino population has influenced American ways of life . Latino’s have changed the United states. In areas such as arts, sports, movements, and income. Without their influence on american culture would be a much different place. The famous latina I have chosen to represent is Sofia Vergara. She is know as a triple threat ih her own way. Vergara is a model, actress, and former comedian. Sofia grew up in Barranquilla, Colombia and was born on July 10th, 1972, to the loving parents Margarita Vergara Davila de Vergara and Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo. Sofia Vergara is a great role model for all. She has influenced the nation in many different ways.

La Llorona real name was Maria. Maria was a very beautiful mexican women with long thick black shiny hair and also very tall and skinny. She wore a white gown at all times and also with bare feet.

Lupe's first love was the Colonel who was fighting in the Revolution. Everyone in the box canyon believed that the Colonel would steal their gold mine and give it to the Americans. Lupe loved this man with all her heart and couldn't believe that anyone thought he would do such a thing to hurt the people of Mexico. And Dona Guadalupe had to tell her that her first loyalty should be to her family and it didn't revolve around the man you love. The goal of both families was to one day see their children be married and have children of their own.

Even though a vast majority of us wish that it was possible to turn back the hands of time and change or rewrite history. However, the truth of the matter is that we simply cannot. Everything happens for a reason, and we should learn to accept it. Accept it for what it is, rather than what we would like it to be.

The main character in the film “Selena” is a woman named Selena. Everyone else in the movie is a sub character that plays off of the role of Selena. The movie is about Selena’s life and the movie begins with her as a little girl and ends with her as a Mexican-American pop star loved by both the Mexican and American communities. Selena goes from being a young girl who’s band is compromised of her brothers and sisters to a mega star known by fans all over the world. As Selena became more successful she faced many obstacles in her career. First, Selena had to learn Spanish in order to sing in Spanish to connect with the Mexican community as her father felt she had the best chance to make it big if she tried to appeal to the Mexican community. Once she became a huge star with her Spanish singing music, she then did a crossover album in English, which helped to make her a pop star worldwide. Since Selena was Mexican-American, not Mexican, it was an obstacle for her to be seen as authentic by the Mexican community. Selena’s second big obstacle was that she was a woman. Mexico is traditionally a male dominant society and before Selena there had never been a Spanish singing female to evolve into a superstar. In the movie, Selena overcomes both of these obstacles and she does become one of the greatest

"La Malinche." Slave, interpreter, secretary, mistress, mother of the first "Mexican." her very name still stirs up controversy. Many Mexicans continue to revile the woman called Doña Marina by the Spaniards and La Malinche by the Aztecs, labeling her a traitor and harlot for her role as the alter-ego of Cortes as he conquered Mexico.

By the time the Mexican Revolution began, women were ready to be recognized fully for their talents and abilities. While many women chose to stay behind the scenes and care for the soldiers on the sidelines, like Camila in The Underdogs, there were equally as many women who chose to actively participate in the revolution. Women such as War Paint chose to become fighters, while others followed less dangerous paths (although many were equally as radical). Despite the fact that Camila and War Paint are both accurate representations of the women who chose the same paths during the revolution, there are still many different roles that women played during this time that Azuela does not acknowledge.

When in due time, does this motto become irrelevant? Pursue morality or commit to the task? In the middle of a crisis, in the center of a foreign land; Marcus made the executive decision that challenged his integrity and his position as a Navy SEAL. He chooses to let the Afghan farmers retreat after they attacked first. Marcus had to question his loyalty to America and his faith as a Christian. In this case, he knew every life is important. The principles embedded in Luttrell was not of much value than what God created. In my opinion, he did the right thing by himself and God. Who are we to have the power to decide whether a man’s being is worth executing? Morally, no one on earth. These are the sacrifices Marcus Luttrell had to undertake throughout

From the time I lived in America, every year I’ve heard about the Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo, but I did not know what it was about up until recently. I asked a few people and they told me it is the Mexican Independent Day, and I found out that to be wrong. Last week I had the opportunity to choose between two movies and I choose Cinco de Mayo La Batalla, because history has always fascinated for me. The language of this movie was quite hard. The movie was about two hours and fifteen minutes. This movie is about Cinco de Mayo or the fifth of May commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. In this movie it shows how Mexico’s military and its people try to defend their family,

She was important because her films involve traveling to big cities to find a better life , sometimes with her donkey Filemón, becoming an every woman for the Latin American immigrant. The actress most successful performance when she played “La India María,” a comedic interpretation of Mexican indigenous women, for a Mexican TV show in 1972.Fans took social media to express shock at losing someone they say “shaped their childhood”.

I agree with you that if someone fits the role they should play the role, but I wonder if we have our own bias and conditioning to think certain rolls should be played by certain groups of people. I think that is what it dangerous in away, Obviously, in your example about Straight Out of Compton would have cast someone like DiCaprio in that role would have been not representing the true story. But sadly, this is seen all the time in Hollywood. For example, they recently made a movie showcasing the events that happened in Stonewall (LGBT rights riots in 1969 in retaliation of police raid at the Stonewall Inn. A place the LGBT community felt safe), there was one major fault. One of the most famous scenes from the events that happened was a brick

Until the beginning of Spanish Civil War in 1936, Bunuel worked at Filmófono and by the end of the war in 1939 he was already in Hollywood. Even though he was deeply impressed by the American culture [9], he could not find the place he desired for himself in the film industry. Bunuel was invited to Mexico in 1946, where he lived and worked until 1964 and made 20 films. The life in Mexico was relatively easy for Bunuel as he was surrounded by a familiar culture and language. In 1950 he directed Los olvidados, one of his greatest films, which has been a turning point not only in Bunuel’s life but also for Mexican cinema.
