People of Latin American descent (aka “Latina/os,” or the gender neutral, more inclusive “Latinx”) have been at the forefront of a variety of social movements over the last century. In some cases, they have insinuated themselves into existing movements, while in others, they have built movements that uniquely speak to their concerns as soldiers and anti-war activists, undocumented residents, racial minorities, farm workers and/or perceived impediments to economic progress. Always, they have asserted their rights to protest. Frequently, they have taken these actions regardless of their citizenship status. This class charts the growth of these movements and anticipates the future of social protest and Latinx politics in the United States.
