Introduction
In the recent events, the case study is followed with decision of the case that is decided by the US Supreme Court to eliminate action in the US and the main reason for this elimination is there is followed race based programs that remedies to remove the inequalities that is based on the race. The people in the United States are no longer seeking and agreeing with such remedy and they want to free them from such racial discrimination as followed thereupon. There is the struggle for the rights that are made by the Chicana/o people, the history of the Chicano movement is discussed and the politics of the law and trials for such inequalities are followed there. The Chicana people in US are the Mexican descent who was born in the US (Salas). The term is popular from the Mexican descent that occurs in the movement launched by them in 1960s. The laws and trials with their enforcement procedures are also followed by the federal court and in the recent times in 2019, the Supreme Court of US is taking a stance over this issue. There are some of the elements that decide on the affirmative action taken by the US.
Thesis statement
The Chicana movement in the US in the late 1960s that is usually referred as Chicano civil rights movements or EI movimiento was generally a civil rights movement that occurred in 1960s. the thesis statement put forwards the view on how the movement was spurred in the entire US and how the Mexican citizens who were born in the US acquired their liberty and rights there.
