Concept information

Preferred term

Latino civil rights movement  

Definition(s)

  • Historically, much of the civil rights struggle in the United States has concerned the constitutional rights, legal status, and treatment of minority groups that are marked off from the majority by race, religion, or national origin. For the Latino population, civil rights struggles emerged in the mid-1800s over constitutional rights to property, citizenship, treatment, and the very meaning of their community.
