He was assassinated on April 4, 1968, a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Known for his nonviolent resistance against racial segregation and injustice, his death galvanized the movement and intensified calls for racial equality. King’s assassination led to widespread unrest but also inspired further civil rights actions, including the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. In ethnic studies, King’s legacy is central to understanding African American history, nonviolent activism, and the ongoing struggle for racial and social justice.

The Bilingual Education Act (BEA) was passed to address the educational needs of students who spoke languages other than English, particularly Latino, Asian, and Indigenous communities. It provided federal funding for bilingual education programs, supporting students' academic success while preserving their native languages. The BEA was part of the broader Civil Rights Movement and the fight for educational equality. In ethnic studies, this law is seen as a significant victory for language rights, educational access, and the recognition of cultural diversity within U.S. public education systems.

In 1968, Chicano students in East Los Angeles staged walkouts to protest poor educational conditions, including overcrowded classrooms, biased curricula, and lack of bilingual education. The walkouts were a critical moment in the Chicano civil rights movement, advocating for educational reform and the empowerment of Mexican American communities. Ethnic studies views these protests as part of a larger struggle for racial justice, highlighting student activism, the demand for cultural representation, and the right to an equitable education for all minority groups.

The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared the freedom of enslaved people in Confederate-held territories. Although it did not immediately end slavery, it was a crucial step toward abolition and reframed the Civil War as a struggle for human freedom. In ethnic studies, this event is central to African American history, representing both a moment of liberation and the beginning of an ongoing fight for civil rights. The Proclamation laid the foundation for future struggles against racial inequality, influencing generations of African American activism.

Executive Order 9066, signed by President Roosevelt in 1942, authorized the internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. This decision, motivated by racial prejudice and fear of espionage after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, resulted in the forced relocation and confinement of Japanese Americans in camps. Ethnic studies examines this as a major civil rights violation, highlighting the racial discrimination and the long-term impact on Japanese American communities, as well as the resilience and resistance of those affected by the internment.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-Asian hate crimes surged, fueled by xenophobic rhetoric that linked the virus to Asian communities. This violence included verbal abuse and physical assaults, particularly targeting Chinese and East Asian individuals. Ethnic studies analyzes this through the lens of racial prejudice, historical exclusion, and the marginalization of Asian Americans. This surge reflects ongoing challenges faced by these communities, highlighting the role of systemic racism, stereotypes, and the need for solidarity and social justice in combating hate and discrimination.
