FILE - In this July 19, 2008 file photo a mural named Raza Adelante, including the image of Cesar Chavez, center, is seen on Cesar Chavez Avenue in unincorporated East Los Angeles. The term la raza has deep roots in Mexico after that country’s revolution and in the U.S. Chicano Movement of the 1970s which helped elect some of the nation's first Latinos to public office. The National Council of La Raza announced that it was changing its name to drop the term "la raza," which menas the people. At political rallies in Texas and during California marches in support for Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers, young Latino activists yelled, “Viva La Raza!” (AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File)
