This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. In the year of this milestone, we are called to reflect: What does the United States semiquincentennial mean to Mexican Americans? How have Mexican Americans shaped this country, and what do we want to see for our communities in the future?
Join us for the first of a series of special MACRI Talks for America 250, the national commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. In this series, we will highlight the ways Mexican Americans have been essential threads to the national fabric. We begin the series with Dr. Frank de la Teja, inaugural state historian of Texas (2007-2009), and a renowned expert in Spanish colonial Texas, presenting Derechos, Fueros, and Privilegios: Rights in Spanish Colonial Texas. This talk will explore civil rights in Spanish Texas (1519-1821).
This program is presented by MACRI and the San Antonio Public Library Latino Collection and Resource Center.
✨ This is an official Dreamweek event ✨
