The Brown Berets are an imortant part of the historical struggle for civil rights and the Chicano Movement in the United States. Founded in 1967 by young students and community members in the barrios of East Los Angeles, this group orgnanized against police brutality, racial injustice and the lack of ethnic education in public schools. Much of this groups influence came from organizations such as the Black Panthers, the American Indian Movement and the Young Lords. The Brown Berets were instrumental in organizing the East Los Angelos High School Walkouts of 1968 that forced Los Angeles Schools to revise their hiring policies and include ethnic studies. The Brown Berets also organized the Chicano Moratorium march which called for an end to the Vietnam War and the recruitment of Latinos in the military. This organization was vital in making the public aware of the disparities and struggles affecting the Chicano community.
