This National Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrate with your students and get them reflecting deeply on the cultural contributions of Latinx artists and musicians through history. These two activities from ABC-CLIO’s [*The American Mosaic: The Latino American Experience*](/products/research-databases/american-mosaic-latino-american-experience) database can support student research and classroom instruction: - **The Chicano Mural Movement** In this activity, students will learn about the characteristics of Chicano murals and analyze three murals to identify those characteristics. Next, they’ll create their own artwork, using some of the elements common to murals of the Chicano movement. - **Latinos in Rock and Roll** In this activity, students will learn about the influence of Latino musicians on rock and roll music. Then they’ll design a poster summarizing how these musicians' Latino heritage added to and changed the broad range of styles that encompass rock and roll. ABC-CLIO and EBSCO celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month while recognizing the critical importance of integrating Latinx history and culture into the curriculum all year long.
