You will research and write about a Hispanic American who contributed heavily to society but, due to their identity, suffered injustice. Below is a list of names to consider. As you will see, some sacrificed their lives, others their reputation or their mental well-being, etc.
There are two restrictions for your topic: 1) the assignment is limited to Hispanic Americans who made their primary contributions during 1877-1976 (e.g., although Dolores Huerta continued her advocacy well after 1976, the majority of her political contributions came during the 1950s and 60s); and, 2) please research someone relatively unfamiliar, so no reports on Cesar Chavez. Also, remember that racial construction is politically and sociologically complicated. A wide range of racial identities are available to choose from.
Please explore the breadth and depth of the individual’s contributions to society, the injustices to which they were subjected, and what we can learn today from their life and its impact on U.S. history. 
On the sources, please find sources that are common to use because I will double check where these sources are from. I want to make sure it will be easier access for me to see as well. Be mindful of the sources.  I highly prefer the more common sources to use for every person to use and fact-check on when it comes to this assignment.
