=== The chicano Movement was ¨el movimiento¨. It was a social and political movement that was also inspired by the acts of the resistance among people of the mexican descent that was also known as ¨brown power¨. During the early 20th century, many mexican-americans attempted to assimilate. The chicano movement considered three goals which were rights for farm workers, restoration of land and a education reform. In 1960s, young americans would embrace the label. In Conclusion, the movement named as movimento was convergence of multiple movements that historians have broken down into four components. === ===

Fighting For Change
A mexican -american identity that was fought for change and activists wore with pride after for so long it was a racial slur .The chicano youth movement began in the 1960ś as a new identification also known as ¨el movimiento ¨that was advocated through social political empowerment as chicanismo or cultural nationalism .when the chicano was leading up to in the 1960ś many mexican -discrimination throughout the u.s west and southwest .long after the war ended many mexican -americans tried to file legal status in the u.s but couldn't because they were considered second -class citizens also known as ´chicanos ´or ´xicano ´. They would go on to boycott well known fields that did not give housing, gave low wages, and treated workers unfairly.

Education Segregation Towards Chicanos
In 1940,more than 80 percent of Mexican Americans students went to “Mexican schools”, Even though there was no law that mandated separation

California School boards used culturally biased I.Q. tests to argue that Mexican-Americans students needed specialized instructions in most subjects

Mexican and American schools were sometimes side by side, separated only by a field or an electrified fence, The mexican students held recess in an empty dirt floored lot which they could see across in plain sight the sparkling playground at the American school. Mendez family would go onto seek change not only for them but for all children
