Walkout

You are seeing the characters develop in the movie and some real issues of rights emerge.

You may like to research the following:
Brown Berets
Black Panthers
Che Gueverra

These are people/groups involved in securing rights for certain people--Che, for example, is a hero to many for helping to secure rights for migrant workers. Many of these types of people and groups were tied to communism and separatist movements and followed by the FBI. As such, you will find a goldmine of declassified primary source documentation on the subjects at www.archives.gov, which is the United States National Archives.

You should be keeping a summary of the movie in your notebook for a notebook grade and writing down rights you feel have been violated.
