In this 90-minute platica, we will revisit the landmark 1954 Hernandez v Texas Supreme Court ruling which acknowledged that Mexican Americans experienced systemic discrimination and segregation, despite being classified as White.
We will discuss how the acknowledgement of Mexican Americans as a protected class mirrors the identity processes of "in betweenness" that many Raza navigate growing up in a country that frames race as Black versus White.
We will also consider strategies for learning and teaching our history as a way to strengthen our own and our youths' ethnic-racial identity and promote flourishing.
Comunidad, something powerful is coming your way!
