Which of the following statements accurately describes the state of Latino rights in the 1960s and early 1970s?
A) Mexican American leaders maintained the bracero program in the 1960s and after, believing that allowing new Mexican immigrants to have low-paying jobs would help the economic advancement of Mexican Americans who had been citizens for longer.
B) Due to the changing public sentiment after the Second World War, Hispanic Americans experienced very little discrimination in hiring, housing, and education, although activists still fought for ways to celebrate their culture in everyday society.
C) The population of Latino Americans was at its largest in the 1960s and early 1970s, but their rights and social equality only began to improve substantially when the population became much smaller in the 2000s.
D) Hispanic Americans' service in the military during the Second World War had helped to instill a clearer sense of American identity and pushed them to pursue equality, for they still often experienced segregation, discrimination, and limited opportunities.
E) Strikes and hunger strikes, such as those led by Cesar Chavez, failed to gain widespread media attention, for the primary way Latino Americans gained awareness and support for their cause was by working hard at low-paying jobs.
