La Raza Unida Party  

Definition

  • The La Raza Unida party was founded in Crystal City, Texas, located in the southeastern portion of the state approximately forty miles from the Mexico-Texas border. This locale and the emergence of the party played an important role in the long struggle of Chicanas/os (persons of Mexican origin) against racism, discrimination, and inequality, as shown in this entry.
