Based off of our readings/one film that you choose and what you already knew, how would you describe the Chicano Movement? What systems of oppression was the Chicano Movement challenging?
What were some of the demands? What connections do you see today?
This part of the prompt for our discussion is more interactive and is asking you to create an original collage/poster. For your collage/poster, please respond to the following prompt: drawing inspiration from what you learned this week about the Chicano movement, and more specifically from the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense 10-point Platform and the Demands from El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, I would like for you to create a 5-point platform with 5 social justice demands that you envision for you and our communities to live easier and safer in this current moment. And for each of your demands, make sure to provide a description! To create your collage or poster, you may use canva (Links to an external site.) or another creative tool most accessible to you. Please upload your original poster here!
