Abstract
This essay examines a nonviolent school boycott by 192 Chicano/a students in 1968 at Edcouch-Elsa High School in the Rio Grande Valley region of deep south Texas. This walkout was the first major Chicano student protest in south Texas, and was a product of the 1960s Chicano movement. I trace the origins, development, and legacy of the Edcouch-Elsa walkout and provide insights into its historical ramifications. This event is critical to understanding the emergence and implications of Chicano student protests throughout the Southwest and their role in bringing about greater awareness of educational issues as a vital aspect of Chicano movement insurgency.
