Las Gorras Blancas, or 'The White Caps,' was a group of Mexican American activists in the late 19th century who fought against land dispossession and for the rights of Mexican Americans in the American Southwest. They were known for their distinctive white hats and used tactics such as direct action, including raiding and destroying fences that restricted access to traditional lands, in order to assert their claims to land and highlight injustices faced by their community.
