To what extent were the struggles by women, Mexican Americans, and Indians continuations of the African American civil rights struggles of several years earlier?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should be able to see some specific linkages. The women's rights movement was promoted by women whose consciousness about their own status had been raised while working on civil rights. Groups like NOW self-consciously modeled themselves on the NAACP. Students should be able to connect the black consciousness and Black Power movements to efforts by Chicanos to promote a positive image for Mexican Americans. They should see similarities in tactics in the bid for power by groups like La Raza.
