The campaign to free the prisoners in the 1970s-1980s helped unify Puerto Ricans by creating a dialogue around a shared Puerto Rican human rights agenda. This laid the foundation for the later Vieques movement to successfully pressure the U.S. Navy to leave the island. The prisoners' campaign activated and broadened Puerto Rican support by appealing first to a sense of Puerto Rican identity and rights. This allowed the Vieques movement to gain momentum and achieve its goal of removing the Navy more rapidly.

The document discusses the key political ideas that influenced the American Revolution and Declaration of Independence. It explains that the ideas of Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke, who believed in natural rights and consent of the governed, as well as Thomas Paine's writings in Common Sense, inspired principles in the Declaration. These included the ideas that all men are created equal, that governments derive just powers from the consent of the people, and that the people have a right to alter or abolish destructive governments. The document also summarizes the political differences among colonists concerning separation from Britain and reasons for the colonial victory in the Revolutionary War, including diplomatic alliances with France and George Washington's military leadership.
America Compared#4
The United States gained control over the Philippine islands through two major wars against the Spanish and other invaders in the late 19th/early 20th century. They purchased the Philippines from Spain for $20 million in 1898. When the Philippines became independent in 1946, it moved away from American influence and met its own needs. When the U.S. seized the Philippines as an imperial power, their view of history justified ruling over millions of unfamiliar people. This perspective guided their political and military control over Filipino Muslims, though some aspects of history like slavery and Islamic civilization challenged their narrative of a uniform progressive past.

The American Revolution Part Ii
The American Revolution Part II discusses key events and developments of the American Revolutionary period including: the outbreak of fighting in Massachusetts in 1775, the large population of enslaved people in the American colonies in 1776, and how the Declaration of Independence established principles of human rights that applied universally. It also notes fears of executive overreach undermining representative government, the confidence of revolutionaries in their legislatures, and the strong federal system established under the new United States constitution, though major European nations were initially reluctant to open trade.
Revolutions of the 18th & 19th c Compared
The document compares political revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and Latin American revolutions. It outlines several similarities in the causes of these revolutions, such as the influence of the Enlightenment, conflicts between social classes, and economic problems. The document then contrasts the backgrounds and results of the American and French Revolutions more specifically, noting differences in social class structures, forms of government, levels of violence, and political outcomes in the post-revolution periods.
Walkout
The East Los Angeles Walkouts of 1968 were a series of protests by Mexican American students against unequal conditions in the Los Angeles public school system. Inspired by community organizer Sal Castro, students from five East LA high schools walked out of their classes to demand improvements. Over the next few days, walkouts spread to 15 other schools. While initially tolerated, police cracked down on demonstrations, arresting Castro and 25 others. Though charges were later dropped, the walkouts highlighted ongoing issues of discrimination and inequality facing Mexican Americans.

My hero by kenan baki
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and leader of the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He advocated for racial integration and nonviolent protest, organizing the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. King was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee where he was supporting a sanitation workers' strike. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered today as one of the most influential leaders for civil rights and social justice in the United States.
Porfirio díaz
José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori was born in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1830. He studied at a local school and seminary but left to join a science and arts institute. In 1877, after fighting political groups seeking the presidency, Díaz became president of Mexico through an agreement recognizing him as the leader. Díaz then ruled Mexico from 1876 to 1911, focusing on order, capitalism, and foreign investment to develop Mexico's economy through industries like railroads.
Visual Media and American Nationalism Capstone Final JBW

Marcus Garvey was a revolutionary writer from Jamaica who achieved great success promoting black rights in the United States in the early 20th century. As a young man he advocated for cooperation with colonial governments, but later founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association to promote racial pride and black self-sufficiency. The UNIA established branches across the United States and influenced nationalist movements in the Caribbean and Africa. Though Garvey faced opposition from colonial governments, he became one of the most influential leaders of the Pan-African and Black Nationalist movements during the Harlem Renaissance.

Feminism and non femininsim
Feminism aims to establish equal political, economic, and social rights for women. There have been three waves of feminism. The first wave in the 19th century focused on rights like property ownership and suffrage. The second wave in the 1960s-70s aimed to raise awareness of sexism and patriarchy and achieved abortion rights and battered women's shelters. The third wave from the 1990s responded to criticisms of the second wave and centered issues of sexuality and identity. Non-feminism opposes some or all forms of feminism and believes it has led to issues like increased single motherhood and abortion. Major anti-feminist groups include Concerned Women for America and the Independent Women's Forum.
Chican@ activist groups
The Brown Berets organized to advocate for educational equality and against police brutality. They also sought to return lands once held by Mexico to Mexican control. By 1968, the Brown Berets had become a national organization with chapters across the United States. La Alianza was formed in 1963 to inform Spanish land grant heirs of their rights under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Poor People's Campaign, led by Martin Luther King Jr., aimed to gain economic justice for poor Americans and pressure Congress to pass an economic bill of rights. It expanded the civil rights movement's focus to include economic justice issues. The Chicano Movement adopted and promoted civil disobedience and nonviolent protest strategies from leaders like Gandhi
5.4 nationalism and sectionalism (1815-1824)
The document discusses several key topics around US economic and political development in the early 19th century:
1) It compares the economies of the North, South, and West during this time, noting differences and how economic policies led to political controversies.
2) It discusses how the Monroe Doctrine and concept of Manifest Destiny affected US relations with foreign powers and influenced westward expansion.
3) It provides context around James Monroe's presidency and the "Era of Good Feeling," as well as Henry Clay's American System economic plan and the political debates around nationalist policies.
Latin american migration
Thousands of migrants from Central America have traveled in caravans towards the United States border to flee violence, poverty, and food insecurity in their home countries. The caravans in 2018 and 2019 were two of the largest ever recorded, with over 7,000 people traveling together for safety and reduced costs. While caravans provide cheaper and safer travel than smugglers, they have inflamed debates around U.S. immigration policy, with President Trump calling them an "invasion" and pledging to build a border wall. Media attention on the caravans has brought greater visibility to migration patterns and challenges faced by Latin Americans.
Enlightenment, Revolution, and Haiti
The document discusses the Haitian Revolution and how it was influenced by the Enlightenment, local culture and Vodou, as well as how it differed from the Reign of Terror in its violence. It also examines the US reaction to the revolution under Thomas Jefferson and issues of rights of man and race.
FinalPaper
This document provides background on the motivations for African American emigration to Haiti during the early 19th century. It discusses the poor race relations and lack of opportunities for African Americans in the United States at the time. Several groups proposed emigration plans to remove parts of the African American population, with Haiti emerging as an attractive option due to its status as the first black republic. However, the emigration movement ultimately failed due to confounding political and economic factors in both the US and Haiti that undermined the viability of the proposal.
The American Revolution 3
The American Revolution had several consequences, both positive and negative. Positively, it allowed for democratic politics and individual rights like liberty and equality to become core American values and inspired revolutions around the world. However, it also saddled the new nation with a massive $80 million debt from money owed to France, citizens, and individual states. This debt comprised the largest negative consequence of the American Revolution.
I Am Joaquin: Corky Gonzales
Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales, a prominent Chicano civil rights activist, died at age 76 in his home in Denver, Colorado. As a leader in the Chicano movement starting in the 1960s, he founded the Crusade for Justice to advocate for Chicano nationalism and organized demonstrations against police brutality and the Vietnam War. He is perhaps best known for writing the epic poem "I am Joaquin" in 1965, which tells of the struggles faced by Mexican Americans and became an important work of the Chicano movement.

Imperialism
After conquering western territories, the United States began expanding outward during the second phase of European imperialism in the late 19th century. The US acquired territories like the Virgin Islands, Hawaii, and the Philippines through war, purchase and annexation, similarly to how European powers occupied parts of Africa and Asia. The US war in the Philippines closely resembled Britain's war in South Africa, as both aimed to spread Christianity, social Darwinism, and civilization. While the US committed to republican institutions in its territories unlike Europe, it was also hesitant to keep colonies long-term due to its own history, though more intent on cultural assimilation than Britain.
Chicano Movement Power Point. 1
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.

This document summarizes an ethnographic study conducted at a racially diverse Chicago public high school to understand tensions between Latino and Black students. The study found that a fight between a Mexican and Black student that was racialized actually stemmed from non-racial reasons related to gang affiliation and masculinity. By examining the process by which the fight became racialized, the study challenges the concept that violence between racial groups is solely racially motivated. It concludes that race is often used as a scapegoat to explain tensions that have deeper roots in issues like poverty, lack of respect in schools, and the need for school reform.

Presentation j byelick
The attached presentation is Jenny Byelick’s UIC School of Public Health Capstone project for her Master of Public Health degree, relating the introductory public health course at Pedro Albizu Campos High School as part of a comprehensive public health curriculum. Public health curricula at the high school level may be a vehicle for addressing health disparities and improving health outcomes among adolescents, particularly in socially marginalized communities. Public health curricula may address health disparities and contribute to the composition of the future health professions workforce; this is especially relevant when high school education programs are linked to career pipelines. This presentation addresses how a school course encompassed aspects of population wellness utilizing social constructionist methods of education. The course was developed adhering to a theoretical framework influenced by principles of positive youth development, critical race theory and school connectedness. This presentation also discusses lessons learned and future directions of the public health curriculum in Humboldt Park. Next steps include improving and evaluating the public health curriculum and career-linked pipeline and connecting this program with other area schools.
Disproportionate Impact of Diabetes
1) A study assessed the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and diabetes mortality rate in a large Puerto Rican community in Chicago. 2) The prevalence of diabetes was found to be 20.8%, the highest reported for Puerto Ricans and twice as high as rates for Puerto Ricans in New York and Puerto Rico. 3) The diabetes mortality rate of 67.6 per 100,000 population was more than twice the rates for all of Chicago and the US.

CHSC 431: Community Assessment
This Spring the students of CHSC 431: Community Assessment, a graduate-level core UIC School of Public Health class engaged in a collaborative learning experience with students and faculty at Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School to conduct a community health assessment of Humboldt Park. The UIC SPH class of nearly 40 students broke into six groups of students to assess separate health areas identified by PACHS as important - gentrification/sense of belonging; issues of LGBTQ youth, physical activity, nutrition, young women's sexual/reproductive health, and health literacy/diabetes. Each group engaged in a mixed method
assessment modeling the assessment component of the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process typically carried out by local health departments. Each group had at least two members engaged in an ongoing community learning experience so as to better discern community perspectives with respect to their health topic. The learning experience ranged from to engaging/facilitating small group learning to facilitating a schoolwide survey to volunteer coaching of a youth sports club. Existing quantitative data on population demographics, health status and health behavior were analyzed in light of qualitative data from key informant interviews, participant observation or focus groups (debriefing groups) gathered from community engaged learning experience characterizing/contextualizing the health topic. Preliminary findings were discussed at Humboldt Park Library 4/21 and 4/28.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
