Castro and the others won their battle against the school district but the still had to face the battle of being imprisoned for life. The walkouts helped chicanos raise awareness.
A teacher, Sal Castro, steps up for the student and their discrimination at school. He steps up from knowing first hand how they were treated. At his youth, he saw how they deported his father due to the great depression and many rioets.
There were many second-guessing from whether they were but they saw encouragement from others and started to walk out with their head held up. Yet some students and educators weren’t happy with the thought and some felt ashamed. The brown bared was a military and became their security/shield from the police.
Things escalated when the students continued to walk that the police got involved. While they were coming towards them the educators of the school were telling the officers to leave and that they will handle the situation. On the other hand, the officers didn’t hear and started using violence towards teenagers. The teenager was fighting back at first but them they were letting them take them to jail, yet they were still using force.
After the walkout, the school started to change and accomplish what the student wanted to change until the adults were starting to get arrested in the morning and they wouldn’t tell them anything. they used forced to arrest them like they were criminals.
Once the officers had to the 12 adult leaders why they were arrested, they were surprised because they based it on the conspiracy. The police didn’t have evidence yet they had the power to arrest them. The Fbi had also gotten involved, QUINTAL Pro, had been created to detail with the civil rights movement and black power movement.
After many arrested, many people were paranoid and just waiting when they would be the one arrested. One of the leaders turned out to be an LAPD, everyone was a suspect, they were the one requesting violence. It’s reminding me of how in the Black live matter protest, police officers started doing the same thing.

they were pushed into labor even the kids who were advanced classes; more like forced. this surprised me because being stereotyped isn’t always fun, people make you of what youre not. we leaned this in ELA today that if you always hear the same story and you see someone as that one story; example mexicans are always working in farm jobs, although this is somewhat true it can be harmful because they have a lot more to offer than just being field workers. there’s always different stories to what people go through not just one.

about their culture or what their ethnicity did. Even when it comes to the LGBTQ community or the BLM movement not a lot of people are educated on that. segregated schools suffered from neglect and second hand resources.this was hard for them because it would make them think that their education isn’t important. traditional mexican habits were changed; many young chicanos in LA protested this. This is also like today because many black people have been protesting their rights and safety.

protest. This does happen today because on the news people would only show looters to represent the BLM movement but wouldn’t show how the police would start to throw tear gas and hit innocent people.

the political struggle became a struggle of survival since they started to watch people; especially the brown berets. police would go undercover, this does happen today during protests, videos of undercover cops have reached the media. in the videos you can see the undercover cops starting the violence and making protesters looks bad. people who don’t support the movement also go and have killed people to make the protest seem even more dangerous. instead of leaving the building of the council they stayed and even slept there because they still wanted them to change. they tried everything to get them out of there but they used it as a place to plan what they’re gonna do next. 35 people refused to leave and then were arrested. chicano leaders then started to speak up.
