excerpt from Telling All Americans’ Stories: Introduction to American Latino Heritageby National Park ServiceThe movement of people, ideas, beliefs, and cultures across America’s shifting borders and the consequences of these migrations are central to the American story. Diego Rivera—a prominent leader of the 1920s Mexican Mural Movement—produced some of his most famous work in American cities. As an outspoken member of the Mexican Communist Party, Rivera invited criticism during his travels, but even his most controversial works resonated with American audiences during the Great Depression. His Detroit Industry Murals—a National Historic Landmark—celebrated American industry and Detroit’s factory workers’ strength and dignity.Latino/a Americans have been some of the most vocal and successful advocates for civil rights in the United States. During the 1960s, labor activists Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez formed the United Farm Workers of America, a joint Latino/a and Filipino organization that created the first permanent agricultural labor union in the United States. Along with the efforts of Filipino activists like Larry Itliong, the UFW established headquarters at Forty Acres in Delano. California’s farm workers successfully executed the Delano grape strike and boycott, which drew national attention to unsafe working conditions and resulted in a 1970 settlement with California's entire table grape industry.4Select the correct answer.Malik is considering this source for his research project. How could he best summarize the information in the source? A. Latino/a Americans have been active in the establishment of civil rights in the United States. B. Latino/a Americans are often portrayed in the Mexican Mural Movement. C. As advocates for civil rights in the United States, Latino/s encouraged safer working conditions. D.

The core of the American hippie movement during the 1960s and ’70s were twentysomethings who belonged to what demographers call the baby-boom generation. This generation, made up of men and women who followed in the footsteps of America’s Silent Generation (born between the early 1920s and about 1942), are known for economic and societal impacts that changed American landscapes as well as American values.The baby-boom generation was the product of the sudden increase in U.S. births occurring between 1946 and 1964. The increase was largely the result of the renewed confidence and security that followed the economic hardships and uncertainties of the Great Depression and World War II. Many couples simply couldn’t afford to either get married or have children before 1946; however, after the final shots of World War II were fired, the United States was the only remaining world power with road, rail, and industrial infrastructure that was largely undamaged by the war. Experts believe that a combination of factors produced the baby boom. These included a desire to settle down after the tumult of the 1930s and early 1940s; Cold War propaganda that urged Americans to have more children than their communist counterparts in the Soviet Union, China, and elsewhere; and the demographic double whammy of younger and older couples (both of child-bearing age) deciding to begin families at the same time.The need to accommodate growing families spurred a suburban boom in affordable housing, schools, places of worship, shopping malls, and the road, rail, water, and electrical lines that served them. These developments, in addition to other forces—such as increases in the country’s Cold War defense budget combined with the desire for American products and expertise worldwide—more than doubled the country’s gross national product (GNP, the total market value of the final goods and services produced by a nation’s economy in a given year) between 1940 and 1960.The sheer size of the baby-boom generation (some 75 million) magnified its impact on society. The lasting effect of the boomers went well beyond changing the faces of cities and landscapes. As they reached young adulthood in the 1960s and ’70s, their tastes in music and their hair and dress styles strongly influenced the national culture, driving the popularity of rock music, folk music, and television programming and, to some extent, changing the country’s attitudes toward drug use, sexuality, and how the country viewed those in power. The political activism of some boomers also contributed much to the unpopularity of the Vietnam War. As the war dragged on into the early 1970s, the size of the protest movement grew, largely as a result of the participation by baby boomers who joined in to call for an end to the conflict.

How did the labor and women’s movements challenge the nineteenth-century meanings of American freedom?There were many varieties of Progressivism. What was the one issue on which all Progressives agreed?Society needed to return to the stability inherent in a monarchical system of government based on eighteenth-century Britain.Freedom must be infused with new meaning to deal with the economic and social conditions of the early twentieth century.Large corporations were a permanent feature of the American economy, but the federal government needed to address the concentration of wealth and social injustice.Immigration needed to be severely limited before native-born Americans became foreigners in their own country.
