latin americans

African Americans were not the only people fighting for civil rights. Another group that fought were the Latin Americans. In class I learned that Hernandez was not treated fairly at all when being tried in court. Mexicans were legally given the right to participate in jury duty. However, far after the civil rights movements, Mexican Americans and other Latinos were still viewed as lower class humans than many other races. They were only believed to be citizens because they were born there. However, after this trial, the Mexican Americans are viewed with more equality than before.
