- Abstract
- "Equal Opportunity Politics In Post-Civil Rights America: African Americans and Mexican Americans in Los Angeles, 1964-1980" examines the relationship between African American and Mexican American communities in Los Angeles during the 1960s and 1970s. This study uses the federal War on Poverty program to argue that the mid-1960s were a critical moment for the development of African American and Mexican American relations in the city and brought these groups into contact at a level unprecedented in U.S. history. By combining the fields of African American history and Mexican American history, this story demonstrates that key historical moments, including the Black Freedom Movement, Chicano Movement, and urban uprisings were linked through the War on Poverty and set the foundation for recent debates about black/brown relations.
