two or three and discuss which of the policies or events from the terms column you think had
the greatest impact on the Latino population of the United States. After discussing with your
peers, individually rank them. Drag the green boxes with the events over to the blue boxes or
draw a line between them in the order you feel is appropriate. Boxes at the bottom represent
the least impactful and the boxes at the top represent the most impactful.
