  1. MEChA Student Movements  Hansell Torres Rios CES 151

  2. Research Questions: • How did the UNIDOS movement help impact students movements like MEChA? How has UNIDOS carried out what MEChA’s unity is all about? • How do Anglo-Americans help add confusion to Mexican children living in the U.S about who their identity is and what the future holds for them based on their skin-color? • Education in the U.S has impacted second generation students in various ways, how has student movements like MEChA help build a common ground where education isn’t always just perceived as a fear? • How has MEChA Influence educational influences and their promise of encouraging persevering?

  3. THESIS: • “Organizations like MEChA have been working on building a better system that helps support Chicano/a students and building a common ground. MEChA is a driving force for equality in the class room setting and giving equal opportunities to those with the less advantage”. Organizations like UMAS, MAYA, MASC and MEChA were built to help guide these students about carrying the word that we are no longer just going to let Anglo-Americans step over our education needs and voicing our own opinions.

  4. Evidence • The United States control over political economy has impacted minorities educational success rates and added too much of today’s societal stereotypes of who racially has a better chance on actually finishing and pursuing a college education. • The program UNIDOS was a student movement that was standing up for control over our own education and showed our own generation was inspired to continue fighting for social equality through the bias acts of the U.S education system. MEChA came together as an organization to show unity. • MEChA helps educate parents about resources and equal opportunities that can help enhance student success. In schools without MEChA these barriers are misguided and not available. • The lack of political economy on resources and efforts to help grant educational equality to Chicano/a student’s made by the U.S government has been insufficient and communication barriers aren’t being recognized.
