I learned a lot about the Civil Rights Movements. I chose to research the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) because I am a student; I hoped it would help me to understand how people my age were feeling during the 1960’s. The SNCC was active from 1960 – 1966. I learned that many other groups and people were working towards public awareness and racial equality. The movie clips that I got to watch showed how violent the protests were.

The Chicano Movement was emerged between 1960 and 1970 during the era of civil justice in America. The purpose of the movement was land restoral, rights of farm workers and improvement in educational policies. Students from US Mexican Federation were the most important part of this movement. Chicano people were suffering with many problems and treated as a minority from years and then they decided to raise their voice for their rights.

I could observe the Broken Windows Theory in the restoration projects I took part in, cleaning up neighborhoods and helping to plant greenery to support a cleaner environment. I observed the presence of Differential Association Theory in the afterschool involvement programs, the academic tutoring groups, and the mentorship programs where I witnessed elementary through high school students learn important skills from both undergraduate and graduate students. I participated in these community service initiatives since I have served as a Service Saturday Site Leader beginning the second semester of my freshman year and additionally spent three semesters as an Impact Weekly Site Leader. Additionally, during my sophomore year I served as a Community Service Ambassador. During my tenure in this position I assisted both organizations and students find and form research projects for themselves and others to take part in.
