They ignited the Mexican-American civil rights movement, which opened the doors to higher education and equal opportunity in employment for Mexican Americans and other Latinos previously excluded. \u003ci\u003eMarching Students\u003c\/i\u003e is a collaborative effort by Chicana\/o scholars in several fields to place the 1968 walkouts and Chicana and Chicano Civil Rights Movement in historical context, highlighting the contribution of Chicana\/o educators, students, and community activists to minority education. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Alejandro Covarrubias, Xico Gonz lez, Eracleo Guevara, Adriana Katzew, Lilia R.
