"If we’re not there advocating for our history to be included in textbooks, to be taught, to respected and celebrated, it will likely get misinterpreted or even erased. That’s where @MonicaMnzMtz ..comes in." @Hip_Latina @UTAustin

[Sonia Hernandez @soniahistoria]

Excellent writing on the legacy of journalist and thinker, Catarino Garza & a reminder that there’s no real shortage of good history out there, but a lack of acknowledgement and/or refusal to learn from it…

"Entre 1910 y 1920 tanto hombres como mujeres de origen mexicano fueron torturados y asesinados por extraños, vecinos o incluso las mismas autoridades estadounidenses, incluyendo a los Texas Rangers." /1

@ccarmonawriter, "reminded students that Idár’s activism and bravery to publish stories no one else was covering was significant during a time when Texas Rangers killed and committed crimes against Mexicans in Texas."

"For families like the Cepedas, @MonicaMnzMtz said time doesn’t heal their wounds. However, 'acknowledging these cases of racial violence is important for healing.' "

#OTD on December 26, 1917, Army Colonel George T. Langhorne led 200 men, including several Texas Rangers, on an unauthorized raid into Mexico in retaliation for the Mexican raid on the Brite Ranch the day before. /1

[Process History @processhistory]

New post alert! @soniahistoria (@historyTAMU, @TAMUArtSci) on her article from the September edition of the JAH. She examines how "gendered histories of state violence [are] fertile ground for future research" for both academic and public audiences.

[Texas Monthly @TexasMonthly]

The Texas Historical Commission removed books on slavery from plantation gift shops. An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics.

Internal emails show otherwise. https://t.co/6OUBSuGnvG

#OTD on November 16, 1918, Texas Rangers Daniel Hinojosa and George Hurst threatened the life of San Diego Constable Ventura R. Sanchez, even though he was a fellow law officer who attempted to do his duty. /1

[Refusing to Forget @Refusing2Forget]

#OTD on November 15, 1922 and white mob of 300 people, in KKK fashion, marched through the streets of Breckenridge, harassing and intimidating Mexican American and African American workers. Gov Pat Neff sent in Ranger Frank Hamer, who investigated but did nothing. /1

My girls came with me to the opening of the "Life & Death on the Border" exhibit by @Refusing2Forget. Grateful for moments like these that open the door to important conversations about the past with them.
