The organizational activity of the Mexican-American Community has always been a subject of keen interest to those among us endowed with a deep sense of concern for the cultural, economic, and educational progress of our people. Although there has been some success on the part of some organizations to direct the thoughts and actions of our people toward social progress, the key to mobilizing our people into a dynamic and concerted social force seems to ever elude us. In part, this is due to the individualistic and skeptical mentality of our people and a passiveness rooted in a rationale of long suffering and patience conquers all. I believe that to successfully find its key of social activation we must first define our goals and agree on which are possible to achieve by our group of activists. Once we have chosen definite goals, then we must search for the ways and means to accomplish them and agree on a program of action. By Ernest Rodriguez
