SUMMARY:EXHIBIT - William Merriweather Peña: The Father of Architectural Programming
DESCRIPTION:Explore MACRI’s new traveling exhibit\, William Merriweather Peña: The Father of Architectural Programming. \nWilliam “Willie” Merriweather Peña (1919-2018) was perhaps the most important Mexican American architect of the 20th century\, yet he remains largely unknown outside of the architecture field. Learn more about the life and work of this remarkable trailblazer with MACRI!  \nThis Laredo\, TX native was a proud Aggie\, decorated World War II veteran\, author\, and partner in Caudill\, Rowlett\, Scott\, which grew to become the largest architecture firm in the world. Peña’s groundbreaking work on architectural programming\, which he honed during his first two decades at CRS\, became the basis for a book first published in 1969\, Problem Seeking: New Directions in Architectural Programming\, which he followed with Problem Seeking: An Architectural Programming Primer\, now in its fifth edition and considered the classic programming guide for architects and a standard architecture textbook. 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. \nThe exhibit gallery is open Monday through Friday\, 10 AM—NOON and 1 – 4 PM\, or by appointment. \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. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation\, Spurs Give\, and individual donors like you! Gracias!

SUMMARY:EXHIBIT - Cisneros V. Corpus Christi ISD: The Long Fight to End School Segregation
DESCRIPTION:Explore 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.  \nExhibit Hours: \n\nOn display from Saturday\, September 27 to Wednesday\, November 26\, 2025\nOpen Monday-Friday 10 AM – NOON and 1-4 PM\, or by appointment\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.

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.
