Banks, Sandy. “Unflagging Controversy: Why Did Some Protestors Against Proposition 187 Carry the Red, White, and Green Instead of the Red, White, and Blue? To Latinos, It Was Prideful. To Many Americans, It Was Insulting.” Los Angeles Times, 10 Nov. 1994.

  • This is an article from the Los Angeles Times in 1994. It covers the controversy surrounding certain demonstrations against California Proposition 187 for their display of the Mexican flag. The reporter found that the tactic was unpopular amongst non-Latino voters. Movement leaders responded with a shift to American flags (both displays and sales) at later events.

  • This is an article in a peer-reviewed political science journal. It covers the electoral consequences of racial appeals and animus, particularly of California Proposition 187. The research suggests that it reversed trends of increasing white and Latino affiliation with the Republican Party. Instead, it created attachments to the Democratic Party.

Kalfus, Marilyn. “Opponents Hire A Proven Winner: Initiative’s Detractors Say Their Agendas, Track Records Are Known.” Orange County Register, 2 Nov. 1994.

  • This is an article from the Orange County Register in 1994. It covers the coalition of interest groups that formed in opposition to California Proposition 187. The reporter found that the display of Mexican flags by the grassroots arm of the movement contributed to a conflict in strategy with the other more mainstream associations.
