Initial Research VikYak

When we first researched Hispanic/ Latino/ Mexican Americans I learned more then I thought I would. I thought I knew basic information regarding this group of people but I was mistaken. This group has struggled for equal rights and treatment for a long time. For example I learned one of the first incidents in which Latinos vocally protested against their second-class status in the United States was the Lemon Grove incident of 1931 in California, which saw Mexican-American parents call a boycott to fight school segregation. I never knew it went back that far in history. Additionally I learned about some key organizations like, LULAC. The original mission and purpose of LULAC was similar to that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). I now know where to begin my main research in order to educate my self aswell as my peers about this group.
