 * The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of acts against people who wore Zoot suits, which consisted of young Latinos and Mexican Americans. It was a series of events that caused and was specifically aimed at young Latinos people to ostracize and abuse them for what they wore. I think that the reactions section could include more about the people that were being targeted and how it affected them. Although there is information about it published and online, this event seems like a relatively unknown topic for those who did not know about Latino history. Some of the sections such as the Activist involvement section seem pretty short for an event that was significant in Mexican American history.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Zoot Suit Riots
 * Article Evaluation
 * The Zoot Suit Riots seem very relevant as it is an event centered around latinos. Many Americans viewed latinos as delinquents. Mexicans were being accused of so many crimes and of being "delinquents" mainly because of where they came from and what they wore. There are some places that could use some more information about the topic, such as the background section.  It contains fair amounts of information about the riots, but some information about its forthcoming seem absent.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * 38th Street gang
 * Article Evaluation
 * The overall article seems very short. There is not much background in this article and based on some of the sources I found, I feel like there could be a lot more information added to the article. I want to include more information on the case and the reactions of Mexican Americans in the United States as well as how this affected the views of Latinos.
