Kennedy. Grassroots "Viva Kennedy Clubs" sprang up not only in the southwestern United States but also across California and the upper Midwest to help elect the young Catholic standard bearer. The leaders of the Viva Kennedy Clubs were confident and hopeful that their participation in American democracy would mark the beginning of the end of discrimination, violence, and poverty in the barrio. Although the dream of attaching their own Camelot to Kennedy's ultimately ended in disappointment, these participatory efforts contributed to an identity-building process for Mexican Americans that led to greater emphasis on Americanization for some and to the more radical rhetoric of the Chicano Movement for others. In "Viva Kennedy," Ignacio M. Garcia surveys the background, development, and evolution of the Viva Kennedy Clubs and their post-election incarnation as PASO, the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations. He argues that patriotic fervor of the 1940s and postwar economic expansion spurred middle-class Mexican Americans to strive for full inclusion in American society. Ironically, those involved in the Viva Kennedy movement showed their militancy in fighting discrimination even as they upheld America's conservative values. They believed that discrimination could be overcome through government actions that recognized their civil rights and through their own political participation. Garcia describes the post-election problems of the Viva Kennedy reformers, who first saw the Kennedy administration ignore its campaign promises to them and then encountered their own factional squabbles, chronic funding problems, and a growing unease among Anglo Americans wary of Mexican American political power. Based on research and interviews with key leaders of the Viva Kennedy movement such as Ed Idar, Jr., Edward R. Roybal, and Albert Pena, Jr., this study unveils a portrait of a people in transition and provides a nuanced picture of twentieth-century Mexican American history. 410 0$aTexas A & M southwestern studies ;$vno. 12. 606 $aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocieties, etc 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xElection$y1960 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1961-1963 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocieties, etc. 615 0$aPresidents$xElection 676 $a324.973/0926/0896872 700 $aGarcia$b Ignacio M$0547398 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954433703321 996 $aViva Kennedy$94468255 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02871nam 22004215 450 001 996647814803316 005 20250320051026.0 010 $a9788367405614 010 $a8367405617 035 $a(CKB)5860000000552853 035 $a(DE-B1597)730603 035 $a(DE-B1597)9788367405614 035 $a(EXLCZ)995860000000552853 100 $a20250320h20242024 fg 101 0 $ager 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aDie Saatgutarche?

It aims to promote the protection, development, and utilization of various wild plant seed resources preserved in the "Ark of Seeds". As science and technology keep progressing, maybe one day, we may take the little lives sleeping in the ?Ark of Seeds? to start a splendid journey to the universe, and they will recreate the green forests and grasslands in some suitable planet, and create a new legend in that new planet.
