Latinos at the Ballot Box

This lesson drawing on content from Latino Americans examines the evolution of Latino electoral participation with specific reference to the growth of voter participation in South Texas and New York in the 1950s to 1970s, as well as the impact of Latino voters in major elections of the early 2000s. Students will explore early efforts to mobilize disenfranchised voters, examine watershed campaigns and elections and consider major issues, including the politics of immigration. They will reflect on the major paradigm shifts that have occurred within the last 60 years.
