SUMMARY:Alonso S. Perales: Civil Rights Trailblazer Traveling Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A traveling exhibit on the life and legacy of Alonso S. Perales (1898-1960)\, civil rights activist\, public intellectual\, and US diplomat. Drawing from Dr. Cynthia E. Orozco’s recently published biography of Perales\, his first comprehensive biography\, this exhibit will introduce Perales to a new generation. \nThe exhibit will be on display from Saturday\, June 29\, 2024 to Saturday\, October 19\, 2024. \nThe exhibit gallery will be open Monday through Friday\, 10 AM—NOON and 1 – 4 PM\, or by appointment. \nThis program is made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas\, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \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\, Wells Fargo\, and individual donors like you! Gracias! \nAbout Dr. Orozco’s book: \nPioneer of Mexican American Civil Rights: Alonso S. Perales  \nIn this wide-ranging biography\, historian Cynthia Orozco examines the life and work of one of the most influential Mexican Americans of the twentieth century. Alonso S. Perales was born in Alice\, Texas\, in 1898; he became an attorney\, leading civil rights activist\, author\, and US diplomat. \nPerales was active in promoting and seeking equality for “La Raza” in numerous arenas. In 1929\, he founded the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)\, the most important Latino civil rights organization in the United States. He encouraged the empowerment of Latinos at the voting box and sought to pass state and federal legislation banning racial discrimination. He fought for school desegregation in Texas and initiated a movement for more and better public schools for Mexican-descent people in San Antonio. \nA complex and controversial figure\, Alonso S. Perales is now largely forgotten\, and this first-ever comprehensive biography reveals his work and accomplishments to a new generation of scholars of Mexican-American history and Hispanic civil rights. This volume is divided into four parts: the first is organized chronologically and examines his childhood to his role in World War I\, the beginnings of his activism in the 1920s\, and the founding of LULAC. The second section explores his impact as an attorney\, politico\, public intellectual\, Pan-American ideologue\, and US diplomat. Perales’ private life is examined in the third part and scholars’ interpretations of his legacy in the fourth. \nAbout Dr. Orozco: \nDr. Cynthia E. Orozco is an award-winning best-selling author\, public historian\, and educator. Teaching first at the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque she joined Eastern New Mexico University in Ruidoso where she recently received the ENMU-Ruidoso President’s Award for Teaching and Service. She is the co-editor of Mexican Americans in Texas History\, an associate editor of Latinas in the United States: An Historical Encyclopedia\, and served as Research Associate at the Texas State Historical Association where she wrote 80 articles on Texas history for the New Handbook of Texas. \nA two-time Ford Foundation recipient\, Governor Bill Richardson appointed her to the New Mexico Humanities Council. The Texas State Historical Association named Orozco a fellow in 2012 and New Mexico LULAC named her Educator of the Year in 2012. She served as campaign manager for Leo Martinez for Congress in the early 2000s.

SUMMARY:FILM - No Más Bebés Screening | Documentary about Madrigal v. Quilligan
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\nImagine you go to a hospital to give birth. Your doctors don’t speak your language\, and you are pressured to consent to medical procedures in a language you do not understand. \nNO MÁS BEBÉS is an Emmy Nominated documentary that tells the story of Mexican immigrant mothers in Los Angeles who were sterilized in the 1960s and 1970s and Antonia Hernandez\, the young Chicana lawyer behind the landmark civil rights case Madrigal v. Quilligan. NO MÁS BEBÉS premiered in 2016 on PBS’s Emmy Award-winning series\, “Independent Lens.” \nMACRI and UTSA’s Democratizing Racial Justice (DRJ)\, with support from GoodDocs\, present a screening of NO MÁS BEBÉS followed by a Q&A with the film’s producer\, Virginia Espino. \nVirginia Espino is an oral and public historian and leader for Latina and Latino History at UCLA’s Center for Oral History Research. She developed oral history projects around Latinx civil rights struggles in California\, and her investigation of the history of coercive sterilization at the Los Angeles-USC Medical Center provided the basis for NO MÁS BEBÉS. \n📍This FREE event will be held on Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\, at 6 PM in the Aula Canaria Auditorium in the Buena Vista Building (Room 1.328) at the UTSA Downtown Campus\, located at 801 W.
