Chicano Movement

movement with the stated goal of achieving Mexican American empowerment

The Chicano Movement, also known as El Movimiento, was a social and political movement inspired by acts of resistance from people of Mexican descent in the 1940s and 1950s,[1][2][3][4] and the Black Power movement, that worked to support a Chicano/a identity.[5][6]

The Chicano Movement was heavily influenced by and entwined with the Black Power movement.[7]
