LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) challenged segregation in public schools by advocating for equal educational opportunities for Latino students. They brought legal cases, such as the landmark 1946 case Mendez v. Westminster, which successfully contested school segregation in California, arguing it violated the 14th Amendment. LULAC also organized community efforts and lobbied for policy changes to ensure that Latino students received the same quality of education as their white counterparts, thus playing a crucial role in the broader Civil Rights Movement.

Mexican Americans sought greater civil rights through various grassroots movements, notably the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which advocated for political representation, educational reform, and labor rights. Organizations such as the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and the United Farm Workers (UFW), led by figures like César Chávez, played pivotal roles in organizing protests and strikes to address discrimination and improve working conditions. Additionally, they pursued legal challenges to discriminatory practices and worked to increase voter registration and participation within their communities. These efforts collectively aimed to achieve equality and social justice for Mexican Americans in the United States.
