1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this one-time class, students will learn about the Chicano movement and the Brown Berets, a pro-Chicano organization that emerged during this movement in the late 1960s. We will briefly discuss the Brown Berets' similarities to the Black Panthers as well. Unfortunately, most United States history curriculums do not cover this part of history and our students deserve to know about the contributions of Mexican-Americans. No previous knowledge of the Chicano Movement of the Brown Berets is required.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the Brown Berets and the Chicano Movement.
