Extending Civil Rights

Question 3 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Read the quote by Dolores Huerta. I was speaking to a group of professionals in Arizona, to see if they could support us. And they said, “Oh, here in Arizona you can't do any of that. In Arizona no se puede—no you can't.” And I said, “No, in Arizona sí se puede!” And when I went back to our meeting that we had every night there . . . I gave that report to everybody and when I said, “Sí se puede,” everybody started shouting, “Sí se puede! Sí se puede!” And so that became the slogan of our campaign in Arizona and now is the slogan for the immigrant rights movement, you know, on posters. We can do it. I can do it. Sí se puede.What best explains what Huerta believed the UFW could improve?

Answer
A
relationships between minority communities and law enforcement
B
professional opportunities for minority owned businesses
C
public schools for students in western states
D
working and living conditions for migrant workers

Explanation

Huerta’s “Sí se puede” slogan expressed confidence that the UFW could make change through organizing and collective action. The UFW focused on improving the working and living conditions of farmworkers, many of whom were migrants. The quote is about building support for that campaign, not improving schools, law enforcement relations, or business opportunities.
