Chicano Activism, American
Democracy
• Chicano
activists have fought against discrimination on farms, on
campuses, and in cities. In so doing, they have claimed a visible and
audible space for themselves and forged one of the most important
civil rights movements in Washington State and in the nation as
whole.
•
• The Chicano Movement has changed
laws and policies, attitudes and values, and helped make the
United States more open, more democratic.
