Shortcomings
One of the things that I belive I need to do some revision on would be the introduction on why there is not a lot of academic work done on Tucson, development of border identity, and international exchange program influence.
Why this topic?
As a member of the Latino community, I feel a conncetion to this part of the Civil Rights Movements. With some direction, Tucson became the focus of the paper because of the large amount of opportunity to find my own groundings in the subject.
Topic & Revisions
As I began my research, I realized that the more I dove into the subject the more complex it was to bring in a wide variety of factors that had some influence in the Chicano Movement.
- Twin City
- Agricultural development
- Relationship with Natives
- Cross border economy

How to use sources
Process
Since I am not from Arizona, I wanted to tackle the subject from my natural advantage with no knowledge. Additionally, I began to search for a book that told the general history of Tucson. From there I began to take notes on what I thought is already missing from the conversation.
Key Evidence Used
For this paper I explored sources that included census, government documents, marriage certifcates, proposed bills in Arizona, and government programs to name a few.

Thesis
This essay will seek to explore the unique capabilities of the Chicano movement in Tucson with a focus on the education reforms that were being largely pushed by the University of Arizona student body. I also discuss why Tucson is unique when it comes to the Chicano movement and the circumstances that allowed the movement to make its strides.
Cultivation of Chicano
- outlining terms

The anchors of the movement

Help
How can I include the supporting circumstances that led to the creation of the Tucson community?
How do I approach a paper with not a lot of secondary sources?
What do you believe is missing from this paper that could help the arguement?
Are there other places I should look for sources?
