The first prominent Chicano rights activist is often considered to be Reies López Tijerina. He was a key figure in the Chicano Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s, advocating for land rights and the restoration of land grants to Mexican-Americans in the American Southwest. His activism helped lay the groundwork for later movements focused on social justice and political representation for the Chicano community.
