Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales was a Mexican-American boxer,poet,political organizer,and activist. He was one of many leaders for the Crusade for Justice in Denver,Colorado. The Crusade for Justice was an urban rights and Chicano cultural urban movement during the 1960s focusing on social,political,and economic justice for Chicanos. Gonzales convened the first-ever Chicano Youth Liberation Conference in 1968,which was poorly attended due to timing and weather conditions. He tried again in March 1969,and established what is commonly known as the First Chicano Youth Liberation Conference. This conference was attended by many future Chicano activists and artists. It also birthed the Plan Espiritual de Aztlán,a pro-indigenist manifesto advocating revolutionary Chicano nationalism and self-determination for all Chicanos. Through the Crusade for Justice,Gonzales organized the Mexican American people of Denver to fight for their cultural,political,and economic rights,leaving his mark on history. He was honored with a Google Doodle in continued celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States on 30 September 2021.
Chicanismo emerged as the cultural consciousness behind the Chicano Movement. The central aspect of Chicanismo is the identification of Chicanos with their Indigenous American roots to create an affinity with the notion that they are native to the land rather than immigrants. Chicanismo brought a new sense of nationalism for Chicanos that extended the notion of family to all Chicano people. Barrios,or working-class neighborhoods,became the cultural hubs for the people. It created a symbolic connection to the ancestral ties of Mesoamerica and the Nahuatl language through the situating of Aztlán,the ancestral home of the Aztecs,in the southwestern United States. Chicanismo also rejected Americanization and assimilation as a form of cultural destruction of the Chicano people,fostering notions of Brown Pride. Xicanisma has been referred to as an extension of Chicanismo.

After its establishment in Texas,the party launched electoral campaigns in Colorado,Arizona,New Mexico,and California,though it only secured official party status for statewide races in Texas.
