What phrase is associated with the Chicano Movement?

• A. The Great Society
• B. Roe v. Wade
• C. The Feminine Mystique
• D. La Causa

Answer: (D)

The key idea is recognition of a unifying slogan that voiced collective action and identity within the Chicano Movement. La Causa means “the cause” in Spanish and became the rallying cry for Mexican American communities to push for civil rights, education reform, labor rights, and political empowerment. It framed activism as a shared mission across neighborhoods and generations, appearing on posters, banners, and speeches of the era. The other phrases come from different contexts: The Great Society refers to Lyndon Johnson’s broad social program, Roe v. Wade is a landmark abortion rights ruling, and The Feminine Mystique is a feminist text that helped ignite a different movement. None of those captured the Chicano Movement’s distinctive, unity-centered appeal the way La Causa did.
