Great thing about teaching U.S. history courses in the West SGV is that you can use books like #EastofEast and students respond in their assignments w/ "I am from El Monte and never knew about this history and want to dig in for more" @semartsposse @pochogreatermx

[David Chávez @2NoChavez]

@pochogreatermx @semartsposse Direct student quote after reading the Ricardo y Enrique Flores Magón piece "I never knew there was an anarchist movement in the places I lived and I feel very special knowing that I stand in the same where that movement has happened."

[Nick Juravich @NickJuravich]

I think one of the biggest things I've learned (of many!) from @semartsposse #EastofEast is the importance of creative imagining and re-imagining in public history work. Just awesome to see this crew reimagine & remake narratives, places, guidebooks, artworks, everything.

@semartsposse I remember canvassing for a Latino El Monte school board candidate in the 00s who slept on the Vietnamese community in my old hood.
He lost.
