Abstract	When students take action, they create change that extends far beyond the classroom. In this article, the author, who was a former teacher from Crystal City, Texas, remembers the student walkout that helped launch the Latino civil rights movement 40 years ago. The Crystal City student walkout remains a high point in the history of student activism in the Southwest. Crystal City provided both template and inspiration for any community faced with economic or civil discrimination. Above all, it gave participants a sense of individual and communal destiny in the knowledge that a common cause can bring about justice, unity and change. Three discussion questions are included.
