COLD CALL… 3

Chicano Movement Focused on 3 main Points: –Farm Workers –Educational Rights –Voting and Political Rights 4

United Farm Workers During the 1940’s and 1950’s landowners in the West, especially California exploited their workers. The U.S. had allowed Mexicans to work in the U.S. during WWII. However, after the war employers were suppose to give preference to U.S. citizens. 5

THINK-PAIR-SHARE… THINK – What are 2 ways that the employers may have “exploited” the Mexican workers? PAIR with someone close to you SHARE what you came up with 6

United Farm Workers Most employers continued to use Mexican workers, because they could pay them very low wages, make them work long hours without a break, and mistreat them. They were also denied the ability to become citizens. 7
