Racial Justice Movements Redefine Citizenship
A multitude of progressive and revolutionary social movements concerned with racial, economic, migrant, gender, and sexual justice and equality emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. From the Black Power and Civil Rights Movements to the United Farm Workers’ campaigns to the Puerto Rican independence movement, the coming together of people seeking change helped to redefine social, economic, and legal constructions of U.S. citizenship, identity, and belonging.
