Chicano community

The Chicano community comprises people of Mexican heritage living in the United States who often embrace a shared cultural identity and history. This community values cultural roots, language, traditions, and social justice, frequently advocating for civil rights and recognizing their contributions to American society. The Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s played a key role in promoting political activism, education, and pride in Mexican-American identity. Today, the community continues to celebrate its rich heritage while addressing social, economic, and political issues affecting Mexican Americans.
