ACTIVITY 3: COMPARE AND CONTRAST

​

Building off what students have learned about both defenders and the context, have them create a visual representation, depicting the following:

• Analyze the similarities and differences in the tactics and approaches of these two defenders. Why do you think these similarities/differences exist?

• How would Dolores Huerta defender react to the work of Lucas Benitez defender? What would he or she say about the work that is being done surrounding this issue? If the defender did not work directly with RFK, how would RFK react to their work and activism?

• How did Cesar Chavez’s activism pave the way for Lucas Benitez?

• What are the similarities and differences between the political/social/economic contexts in which they worked/are working?

• Why do you believe this issue is still a problem?

• Which parts of RFK’s legacy are present in the work of each these defenders?
