Austin Revealed: Chicano Civil Rights "Desegregation & Education"

In the aftermath of desegregation, Mexican-American students and teachers in Austin realize the lack of equality in the school system and higher education. Students and teachers who lived it share their stories about the disparate conditions and the fight for reform.

Thank you to the contributors of these important historical accounts of Austin's Education

Thank you for creating this piece and telling one of the great S tories that makes Austin and the east side so unique! I loved seeing the primary sources of the organizing that went on. Now in 2017, the school board needs to all sit down and watch this. After all the work that was done to make sure Sanchez was a safe school for the learning of bilingual education and what it means to the community, it should be supported and cherished.

Great edification learning about others history instead of just the European history and just my own water down history (so called African American)that they teaches us in these schools. Now that I'm older I find out we are greater than what they tell us.

Unfortunately I never did take my Chicano History seriously, even though I considered myself a Chicano in the 1960's and 1970's. And still do consider myself to be a Chicano, but not that word has transpired into Mexican/American, Hispanic, Latino so the word Chicano has gotten lost. They didn't really teach us much Chicano history in high school, but the Chicano movement was very active.

Chicanos and only Chicanos fought for the rights that all
Mexicans,Salvadorans,Hondurans,Puerto Rican etc. etc. benefit from yet we are never given the credit for it. We Chicanos stand up and fight unlike other Hispanics or Latinos.

[@el5880]

[@Mexicano1768]

[@xavibustilloz779]

Chicanos fought for civil rights not Mexicans or Latinos- Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans, Hondurans.
Yet we never get the credit for fighting for civil rights.
Chicanos fight injustices we just don’t stay quiet and take it.
I am a proud Chicano💪🏼
