SUMMARY:MACRI Talk - Lyndon B. Johnson\, Mexican Americans\, and the Border
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. In the year of this milestone\, we are called to reflect: What does the United States semiquincentennial mean to Mexican Americans? How have Mexican Americans shaped this country\, and what do we want to see for our communities in the future? \nOur America 250 MACRI Talk series continues in August with a conversation about Lyndon Johnson\, Mexican Americans\, and the Border\, featuring historian Geraldo Cadava. LBJ was a native Texan\, and\, when he was a college sophomore\, Johnson taught at the Welhausen Ward Elementary School\, a segregated Mexican American school in Cotulla\, Texas. He credited this experience with inspiring his interest in supporting education and the Mexican American community. How did this manifest during his time in office? LBJ’s career in politics was marked by civil rights movements\, shifts in U.S.-Latin America relations\, and major changes to immigration law.
