Q This journal entry is based on episode 3 of Latino Americans: War & Peace. Watch episode 3 of Latino Americans: War & Peace (1942-1954) (Links to an external site.) (enter your MEID and password if prompted) (Links to an external site.) Use your own words- avoid plagiarism. Use your notes to write at least three complete sentences for each of the following prompts: 1. What were some unintended consequences of the Bracero Program? 2. Hispanic Americans in World War II 3. What led to the zoot suit riots? (who/ what/ when/ where/ why/ consequences) 4. What is the significance of the supreme court case Hernández Vs. State of Texas? 5. Guy Gabaldón: who was him? 6. Dr. Héctor García & the American GI Forum (who was him/ what was the GI forum about?) From PBS: War and Peace (1942-1954) "World War II is a watershed event for Latino Americans with hundreds of thousands of men and women serving in the armed forces, most fighting side by side with Anglos. In the Pacific, East L.A.'s Guy Gabaldon becomes a Marine Corp legend when he singlehandedly captures more enemy soldiers than anyone in US military history. But on the home front, discrimination is not dead: in 1943, Anglo servicemen battle hip young "Zoot suitors" in racially charged riots in southern California. After the war, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his exploits fighting in Europe, only to be refused service in a Texas diner. The experience during the war pushes Latinos to fight for civil rights back home. A doctor from South Texas, Hector Garcia, organizes the American GI Forum, transforming himself into a tireless advocate for civil rights and the friend of a future president. Although Latinos make significant gains, the journey for equality is far from over." Return to the Modules Google Slides as needed to contextualize the episode and access timelines.

One of the unintended consequences for the Bracero program was the creation of conflict between Mexicans or Latinos and whites. The program led to increased interaction between Mexicans and Anglo whites in cities such as Los Angeles. These increased interactions meant that the chances of conflict between the two groups significantly increased sometimes escalating into full blown violent fights. Hispanic Americans played a critical role in World War II especially in the battlefield after joining the military in their millions.
