I feel the Chicano Movement addressed the restoration of land grants, farm workers rights and education rights. They also sought social changes and equality for all Mexican Americans.

They used these following tactics;

• The college students organized a four hour sit-in where they voiced their demands for the University to make changes for people of “Color.”
• The Chicano Movement also focused on Educational issues pushing for higher education for Mexicans-Americans. Which they had great success in their educational goals due to the Mexican-Americans school dropout rates were reduced and more bilingual teachers were hired in the school systems.
• These educational programs were formed: United Mexican American Students (UMAS), Mexican American Youth Association (MAYA).
• They organized a major grape strike with the help of the United Farm Workers Organization.
• They fought the Federal Government to honor the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
• They addressed discrimination in public and private institutions.
• Black power exercised a direct influence on the Chicano movement because it established racial identity.
• They help pass California Proposition 14.

• Caesar Chavez started the united Farm Workers Organization and went on a 25 day hunger strike during the grape boycott.
• Reies Tijerina worked on the land grant in the movement.
• Hector Garcia founded the American GI Forum and became the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

I feel the African American Movement focused on racial discrimination against Africans and better treatment for African Americans in the Southern States.

They used these following Tactics;

• Brown v. Topeka Board of Education help the African Americans gain entrance to white schools, especially the “Little Rock Nine.”

• Marcus Garvey: leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and first African American leader in American history to organize mass people in a political movement.


• W.E.B. Du Bois: he was a spokesman for the legal right of African Americans, and founded the National Association for the Advancement of colored People, and the editorial of the African American Newspaper the Crises.


• John Lewis: He and the United Mine Workers launched a campaign to bring African Americans workers into the union by employing Africans Americans organizers and demanding equal pay, regardless of race


• The NAACP and CORE were also important agencies in the movement.

I feel the American Indian Movement used the Government property to stage all their protest so the United States public would become aware how the Indian were being treated.

They used these following Tactics;

• The occupation of Alcatraz Island for 19 months in order to reclaim federal land taken away from the Native Nations.

• Richard Wilson was the tribal chairman on the Wounded Knee standoff.

The African Americans, Mexican-Americans and Indian Americans all used non-violence during their protest and marches and used Martin Luther King direct action plan to fight for better Civil Rights. All the important people I mention all played a huge part in their people Civil Rights movement.
