During these historic walkouts, or ""blowouts,"" the students were led by Sal Castro, a courageous and charismatic Mexican American teacher who encouraged the students to make their grievances public after school administrators and school board members failed to listen to them. The resulting blowouts sparked the beginning of the urban Chicano Movement of the late 1960's and early 1970's,Hispanic AmericansEducationUnited StatesHispanic AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centuryEducational equalizationUnited StatesRace discriminationUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsHispanic AmericansEducationHispanic AmericansCivil rightsHistoryEducational equalizationRace discrimination371.829/68073BGarcía Mario T906108Castro Sal1693342MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818427403321Blowout4071050UNINA
