The Chicano Movement emerged in the 1960s in response to discrimination faced by Mexican Americans. It had three main components: the Chicano youth movement fought for equal rights in education, the farmworkers movement advocated for better wages and working conditions, and MAYO organized Mexican American youth. The movement achieved greater civil rights protections but Mexican Americans still face issues around immigration and discrimination today.
