The largest civil rights movement by people of Mexican descent in the United States is known as the Chicano Movement. The Chicano Movement was a social and political movement that emerged during the 1960s and 1970s to address the inequalities and injustices faced by Mexican Americans in the United States. The movement was characterized by a focus on self-determination, cultural pride, and community empowerment, and it played a significant role in shaping modern-day Chicano/a/x culture and politics.
