Page 12 THE BATTALION ' olice Indecent exf Texas school celebrates 25th anniversary of civil rights protest CRYSTAL CITY, Texas — Twenty-five years ago this Friday, hundreds of Crystal City High School students walked out of classes and into history. Like Rosa Parks’ decision to keep her seat in the front of that Montgomery, Ala., bus, the month-long boycott of this South Texas school system by Mexican-American students was a turning point in the civil rights struggle in Texas. The walkout over how cheerleaders were se lected gave birth the following year to La Raza Unida (The Race United) and set the stage for its election sweep of local political offices a few months later. La Raza remained a viable political group for less than a decade, but its its statewide expansion in the early 1970s sliced into the De mocratic Party’s voter base and gave Texa Republicans a boost toward building two-party state. Many students who took part in that piece history that unfolded here more than two decade ago remain today as adults in this small to» : alongside U.S. 83 about a two-hour drive soutl west of San Antonio.
