Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:

2, Discuss how Hispanic leaders used tactics previously used by blacks such as sit-ins, boycotts, and marches to draw attention to their cause, and how the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) was modeled on the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.
3, Identify some of the problems common to the two groups, such as discrimination in employment hiring and promotion and poverty. Identify some that are different, such as immigration and language barriers.
