SUMMARY:MACRI Talk - Storied Property: María Cordova’s Casa
DESCRIPTION:La Casa Cordova\, known as Tucson\, Arizona’s oldest building\, was formerly the home of María Navarrete Cordova (1895–1975). In 1972\, gentrification and urban renewal pushed Cordova out of her home. She and her family fought the removal in court\, but lost the case. The historic building was preserved as a museum. The stories told there\, however\, did not represent María and her family’s history in the property\, and their struggle to keep it.  \nThe story of Casa Cordova raises questions about the role and practice of historic preservation in the face of the displacement of historic communities of color.  \n  \nJoin us for a virtual MACRI Talk featuring historian and memoirist\, Dr. Lydia Otero\, who will present on María Navarrete Cordova’s and her family’s history at Casa Cordova\, telling the stories that are missing from the historic site’s narrative. \nWednesday\, April 29\, 2026  |  6PM – 7PM Central Time \nOJO! This is a virtual event. The talk will livestream via Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MACRI and YouTube at https://bit.ly/YT-MACRI \nRSVP to receive the links for the talk! \n  \nMACRI’s programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture\, Bexar County\, the Mellon Foundation\, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation\, Spurs Give\, and individual donors like you! Gracias!  \nAs always\, views and ideas shared by presenters do not necessarily reflect those of the MACRI\, its staff\, board\, or funders. \n  \n*** \nAbout our guest \nLydia R.
