Other websites - there are many that are reliable, but even more which are NOT. Know how to read a Results page:
I searched Chicano Civil Rights Movement and got this page of results. Notice that MOST of them are great sources?
Any .edu sources that look like a COLLEGE PROFESSOR or RESEARCHER wrote, those = YES good to use sources
LIBRARY of Congress and National Archives are YES good to use .gov sites
Caution: Some United States .gov sites are now unfortunately not automatically in the YES good to use category.
For Civil Rights .gov sites…
that are archived from Biden, Obama etc., they are YES and you can use (but check the date)
for Trump modified Federal Sites, they are either going to be a MAYBE (and you have to check if the info is reliable/correct) or Use as an example of how the Trump administration is erasing civil rights pages and information it doesn’t like from federal websites (sample article on topic)
Examples of what’s been removed or tampered with:
Many agencies have removed references to transgender people, including the Centers for Disease Control, the National Park Service, the State Department and the Social Security Administration.
Arlington National Cemetery removed its education programs about the history of women and people of color in the armed services though some biographies remain available on its site. The Army and the Navy removed web pages about the history of women in the military and ones about a decorated Japanese American Army unit and pages about Navajo Code Talkers.
Does public activism help? In the article they note when a public outcry resulted in the
restoration of removed materials, like this example:
Some of the pages about the Japanese American unit and the Code Talkers have since been restored after their removal received attention and media coverage. After this story was published, Jackie Robinson's page was restored.
