One reason for this, she feels, is the economic contribution DYNAMICS Mexican-Americans have made, especially in the Southwest. nvM /\ ly/iir-cs E2 E3 J\ 1 s 8 "Mexican-American labor played ^himniM a m. mmm !•# i i HI# ™ ml w i i wws# an important role in the success of the cotton fields of Texas, the railroads of California, and the rich copper fields of Arizona," Martinez said. "With the civil rights explosion in the 1960's and '70s, new energy was brought into efforts seeking to gain equality for the Mexican- American people," said Martinez. Yet, she stated that there are still two large barriers blocking further Chicano equality—education and police brutality. Martinez felt that a larger development of the bilingual program in Southwestern public schools would help shrink the differences between education for white and Mexican-Americans. But she was quick to add that society as a whole must first learn to "accept and promote" bilingualism. The MALDEF president also stated that she was frightened by the extent of police brutality practiced against Mexican- Americans. "The pattern of official violence against Mexican-Americans has continued and has grown because juries, and, here in Houston, federal judges, have always been reluctant to pass harsh sentences on police who maim, beat, and even kill Mexican-Americns," Martinez stated. She referred briefly to the murder of Joe Campes Torres by. Houston policemen in 1977. Martinez disagreed with those who claim Mexican-Americans are asking for special previleges and treatment in order to gain equality.
