Lisa Elizondo, a University of Alabama junior and McNair Scholar who spent her summer collecting oral histories of Chicano-rights activists, presents the findings from oral histories gathered during her McNair Scholars Summer Research Internship in June and July 2010 under the guidance of Dr. Michael Innis-Jimenez, assistant professor of American studies. With McNair and American studies departmental support, Elizondo traveled throughout Washington and to Oakland, Calif., to interview activists who participated in Washington in the Chicano civil rights movement of the 1960s and ’70s. These individuals advocated for community inclusiveness and increased educational opportunities for Mexican-Americans, gathered support for the farm workers’ movement and improved access to healthcare for Mexican-Americans. Although similar activism in California is well-known, Elizondo’s study is one of few to document the movement in Washington.
