SUMMARY:MACRI TALK - Compton in My Soul
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual MACRI Talk with Dr. Albert Camarillo about his new memoir\, Compton in My Soul: A Life in Pursuit of Racial Equality. Learn about the history of Compton\, Los Angeles\, and Camarillo’s path to becoming the first Mexican American to earn a Ph.D. in Chicano History and a founding scholar of the field of Mexican American history and Chicano Studies. \n📍This virtual MACRI Talk will stream live on Tuesday\, August 12\, 2025\, at 6 PM Central on MACRI’s Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MACRI and YouTube at https://bit.ly/YT-MACRI. \nRSVP to receive a reminder and links for the talk! \n\nAbout the talk\nWhen Al Camarillo grew up in Compton\, California\, racial segregation was the rule. His relatives were among the first Mexican immigrants to settle there—in the only neighborhood where Mexicans were allowed to live. The city’s majority was then White\, and Compton would shift to a predominantly Black community over Camarillo’s youth. Compton in My Soul weaves Camarillo’s personal story with histories of Compton\, and illuminates a changing U.S. society—the progress and backslides over half a century for racial equality and educational opportunity. \nEntering UCLA in the mid 1960s\, Camarillo was among the first students of color\, one of only forty-four Mexican Americans on a campus of thousands. He became the first Mexican American in the country to earn a Ph.D. in Chicano/Mexican American history\, and established himself as a preeminent U.S. historian with a prestigious appointment at Stanford University. In this memoir\, Camarillo offers his career as a vehicle for tracing the evolution of ethnic studies\, reflecting on intergenerational struggles to achieve racial equality from the perspective at once of a participant and an historian. \nAbout our guest\nAl Camarillo is Professor of American History (and by courtesy Graduate School of Education) and the Leon Sloss Jr. Memorial Professor/Haas Centennial Professor of Public Service\, Emeritus. A member of the Stanford University History Department for over forty years\, Camarillo is widely regarded as one of the founding scholars of the field of Mexican American history and Chicano Studies. He was born and raised in Compton where he attended public schools before entering the University of California at Los Angeles. He received his B.A. in History in 1970 and his Ph.D. in U.S. History in 1975. He is the first Mexican American in the nation’s history to receive a Ph.D. in U.S. history with a specialization in Chicano History.

SUMMARY:OPENING RECEPTION - Cisneros V. Corpus Christi ISD: The Long Fight to End School Segregation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of MACRI’s new traveling exhibit\, CISNEROS V. CORPUS CHRISTI ISD: THE LONG FIGHT TO END SCHOOL SEGREGATION. \nIn 1968\, José Cisneros and twenty-five other Mexican American parents sued Corpus Christi Independent School District for illegally segregating Mexican American students into poorly maintained and under-resourced schools separate from Anglo schools. The court found that the school district was intentionally segregating students and ordered Corpus Christi ISD to integrate its schools. This landmark decision for Mexican American civil rights extended the same protections of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) to Mexican American students\, nearly a quarter of a century later. \nLearn about the history of Cisneros v. Corpus Christi ISD (1970)\, the people behind the case\, and how it fits into larger legal struggles to improve Mexican American access to public education.  \nLight refreshments will be provided. \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.

DESCRIPTION:Learn about the roots & influence of the predominantly Chicanx punk rock scene in El Paso since the late 1970s. \nAbout the event\nJoin us for a virtual MACRI Talk about the history of punk rock in El Paso featuring Dr. Tara López. Learn about the roots and influence of the predominantly Chicanx punk rock scene in El Paso since the late 1970s. \nPunk music is associated with rebellion\, social unrest\, and challenging power structures\, while questioning conformity\, inequality\, and corruption\, so of course\, there are connections to Mexican American civil rights! \nMACRI is excited to host Dr. Tara López\, the 2025 Al Lowman Memorial Prize recipient for her recent book\, Chuco Punk\, to be our guide connecting El Paso’s punk scene to the city’s history as a borderland\, a site of segregation\, and a place with a long lineage of cultural and musical resistance. Covering the first roots of Chuco punk in the late 1970s through the early 2000s\, we’ll learn about how Dr. López used more than seventy interviews with punks\, as well as unarchived flyers\, photos\, and other punk memorabilia to uncover how El Paso’s punk scene influenced not only the contours of sound and El Paso\, but the entire topography of punk rock. \n🛜 This MACRI Talk will stream live on Thursday\, October 2\, 2025\, at 6 PM Central on MACRI’s Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MACRI and YouTube at https://bit.ly/YT-MACRI. \nAbout Our Guest\nTara López is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at Winona State University in Winona\, Minnesota. Her research interests include social and cultural movements\, especially among working-class communities and communities of color. López is the author of The Winter of Discontent: Myth\, Memory\, and History (2014)\, “‘¡Vamonos pa’l Chuco!’: Punk Rock\, Power\, and Memory in El Paso\, Texas” (2020) published in the Journal of Texas Music History\, and Chuco Punk: Sonic Insurgency in El Paso (2024). \n*** \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.

SUMMARY:MACRI TALK - Patriots from the Barrio
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Veterans’ Day MACRI Talk about Company E\, 141st Infantry\, the only all Mexican American army unit in World War II\, featuring author Dave Gutierrez. \nAs a child\, Dave Gutierrez heard stories about his cousin Ramon\, who served in World War II. Gutierrez later found out that Ramon was part of Company E\, 141st Infantry\, a unit composed entirely of Mexican Americans. Drawing from extensive archival and oral history research with veterans and family members\, Patriots from the Barrio tells the story of Company E’s members during the war.  \n📍This MACRI Talk will stream live on Tuesday\, November 11\, at 6 PM Central on MACRI’s Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MACRI and YouTube at https://bit.ly/YT-MACRI. \nRSVP to receive a reminder for the talk! \n*** \nAbout the book\nAs a child\, Dave Gutierrez hung on every word his father recalled about his cousin Ramon\, “El Sancudo” (the mosquito)\, and his service in World War II\, where he earned a Silver Star\, three Purple Hearts\, and escaped from the Germans twice. Later\, Dave decided to find out more about his father’s cousin\, and in the course of his research\, he discovered that Ramon Gutierrez was a member of Company E\, 141st Infantry\, a part of the 36th “Texas” Division that was comprised entirely of Mexican Americans—the only such unit in the entire U.S. Army. The division landed at Salerno\, Italy\, in 1943\, among the first American soldiers to set foot in Europe. In the ensuing months\, Company E and the rest of the 36th would battle their way up the mountainous Italian peninsula against some of Nazi Germany’s best troops. \nBased on extensive archival research and veteran and family accounts\, Patriots from the Barrio: The Story of Company E\, 141st Infantry\, The Only All Mexican American Army Unit in World War II brings to life the soldiers whose service should never have gone unrecognized for so long. With its memorable personalities\, stories of hope and immigration\, and riveting battle scenes\, this beautifully written book is a testament to the shared beliefs of all who have fought for the ideals of the American flag. \nAbout our guest\nDave Gutierrez is a historian\, writer\, and author of the book Patriots from the Barrio. Patriots from the Barrio has been named one of the top 24 History books of all time by Book Riot.  His articles have appeared in publications including American Legion and War History Online. Recognized by both the Texas Military Forces Museum in Austin and the National WWII Museum in New Orleans for his groundbreaking work on Company E 141st Infantry\, he also specializes in genealogical research\, Mexican American history\, and World War II studies. Dave is a member of the National Medal of Honor Museum’s Advisory Panel.  \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.

It also earned Peña the title of “the father of architectural programming.” Peña was one of the leading architects in the nation\, a visionary\, an industry pioneer who was named an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Fellow in 1972 and received multiple awards from AIA Houston. When Peña retired in 1984\, he had directed programming for over 400 projects in 38 states and ten countries while mentoring younger architects and writing and speaking about architectural practices across the globe.  \nLight refreshments will be provided. \n🌟 This exhibit was created with support from the Conservation Society of San Antonio. 🌟 \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.

SUMMARY:MACRI TALK - The US-Mexico War and Identities Along the Frontier
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? \nJoin us for the second of a series of special MACRI Talks for America 250.

After the Mexican American War\, Indigenous people and Spanish- and Mexican-descent residents of the frontier found themselves living in another country – the United States of America. How did residents of the frontier experience their entry into the United States? How did these changes affect the ways in which people thought about themselves and their national and ethnic identities?   \nThis virtual MACRI Talk is being held on Segundo de Febrero\, the day of the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo\, also known as National Mexican American Heritage Day. \n  \nMonday\, February 2\, 2026  |  6:00 PM – 7:00 PM 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 \n  \n⭐️This program is made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas\, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. ⭐️ \n  \n*** \n  \nAbout our guest \nAndrés Reséndez is a professor of history and author who grew up in Mexico City and currently teaches at the University of California at Davis. His specialties are early European exploration and colonization of the Americas\, the U.S-Mexico border region\, and the early history of the Pacific Ocean.

SUMMARY:MACRI TALK - Impossible Identities: Mexican Americans After the Alamo
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Event update ⚠️ \nDue to unforeseen circumstances\, Dr. Richard Flores is unable to join us on this date.

SUMMARY:FILM - Latina Spring: Li Cham

Gracias! ⭐ \n  \n*** \nAbout the film \nLi cham (I died) \nDirected by Ana Ts’uyeb 2024\, Mexico\, 74 min \nSet in the highlands of Chiapas\, Li cham (I died) follows three Tsotsil women — Juana\, Margarita\, and Faustina — who return to the land to rebuild their lives in the wake of profound personal loss. Marked by experiences of grief and gender-based violence\, they cultivate coffee\, raise their children\, and reclaim a life defined on their own terms. What emerges is a portrait of strength shaped by ancestral labour and communal care. \nDirected by Ana Ts’uyeb and told entirely in the Tsotsil language\, this lyrical debut traces the subtle influence of Zapatismo\, not as a historical moment but as an ongoing framework for Indigenous self-determination and autonomy. With intimate camerawork\, quiet resilience\, and deep-rooted spirituality\, Li cham honors a way of life that refuses erasure. Rather than dwell in mourning\, the film becomes an act of renewal where memory\, land\, and womanhood intersect in a cycle of survival\, sovereignty\, and radical tenderness.

SUMMARY:EXHIBIT - You Have the Right! Mexican Americans and Due Process of the Law
DESCRIPTION:Explore MACRI’s new traveling exhibit\, You Have the Right: Mexican Americans and Due Process of the Law. \n  \nThis exhibit explores three court cases involving Mexican Americans and Mexican-perceived individuals that have been significant to the interpretation of the Fifth\, Sixth\, and Fourteenth Amendments and shaped interpretation of due process of the law in the United States: Miranda v. Arizona (1966)\, United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975)\, and Chavez v. Martinez (2003).  \nThe verdict in these cases\, whose plaintiffs were Mexican American and Latino individuals\, affect all Americans today. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) secured what we now call our “Miranda rights;” United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) prohibited law enforcement from stopping and questioning someone on the basis of their appearance; and Chavez v. Martinez (2003) marked a rollback in protections from coercive questioning from authorities.  \nThe three moments featured in this exhibit remind us that the interpretation of constitutional amendments is constantly debated in courts at all levels of government\, and can result in expansions and contractions of civil rights. The legal struggle for civil rights is continuous\, and rarely a linear progression.  \n  \nThe exhibit will be on display from Monday\, April 27\, 2026 through Tuesday\, June 30\, 2026.  \nThe exhibit gallery is open Monday through Friday\, 10 AM—NOON and 1 – 4 PM\, or by appointment. \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!
