Fifty years has passed since the Chicano civil rights movement. This movement represented the voices of Chicanos and Chicanas demanding for the right to an education, access to Universities, Chicano educators and Chicano Studies classes that provide an accurate account of history. Other areas of concern included issues of equality, economic growth, police brutality, housing, and health care. The twenty first century should show the progress in addressing the concerns and issues of the past. However, current public and political conversations present a grim reminder that history may be repeating itself. Social, political and economic issues appear to be at the forefront of public outrage, screams of racism, and the pain associated with the death of innocence. In the streets of this great country racial hatred, differential treatment as well as economic and educational imbalances still exist. This presentation will examine the educational, social and political issues identified by the Chicano Movement and examine the current status. Have Chican@s advanced in the last fifty years?
