His father, two uncles and 23 cousins served in that conflict. Many other family members and friends served in the Korean and Vietnam wars. An egregious omission As he began walking through the exhibit, Aguirre was pleased to see some minority groups that faced discrimination at home were presented as patriotic heroes in special sections celebrating African-American and Japanese-American servicemen.
But for Latinos who served their country, Aguirre found only a small display on the Zoot Suit Riots of when racial tensions in Los Angeles escalated between on-leave servicemen and Mexican-American youth, erupting in three nights of fighting in the streets. To be displayed in such a negative and unpatriotic manner, showing Mexican-Americans as enemies of the state at our national museum, was egregious. Filling in the gaps: In the s, he and his wife, Linda Martinez Aguirre, a history teacher whose Mexican-American family also had many members serve in WWII and other wars, decided to fill in gaps in the historical record.
Together, they started interviewing Latino veterans they knew through family and friends, documenting their service in the U. Mexican-Americans in the Korean War. All of the research material and photographs of 2,plus veterans profiled in the books are now archived in the Orange County Department of Education website American Patriots of Latino Heritage. Organized entirely by Aguirre, his wife and Rodriguez, the event ran for 15 consecutive years. They brought in Latino Medal of Honor recipients and Latino generals to speak about their experiences.
Prominent figures gave speeches and presented veterans with certificates commemorating their service, including then-Gov. Gray Davis and Rep. Loretta Sanchez of California. Military vehicles were displayed and bands performed. The Aztec Skydiving team even parachuted into the crowd. Aguirre said that his time at USC Dornsife was significant in shaping his interest in history. He remembers how his professor Doyce Nunis encouraged him to pursue his doctorate in California history.

With 29 Hispanics in the U. House of Representatives and three in the U. Senate, will be the most Latino Congress in U. The incoming Congress will have one more Latino representative than it does currently, while the number of Latinos in the U. Senate remained unchanged at three. The largest Hispanic delegation comes from the state of California, with 10 members, all of whom are representatives.
Texas will send the second-highest number of Latino members of Congress, with seven --six representatives, and one senator. Five new Hispanic faces will join the U. House of Representatives next year, including two Democrats and three Republicans. Despite the steady progress boosting their numbers, Latino representation in the U. Congress still isn't nearly consistent with the Hispanic share of the population. Latinos make up some 8 percent of U. Congress members, but 17 percent of the population as a whole. National Institute for Latino Policy, http: Wednesday, November 19, Apart from temporarily deferring their deportations from the United States, DACA also gives eligible undocumented youth and young adults access to renewable two-year work permits and Social Security numbers.
Two years out, we now have a clearer picture of the benefits DACA has provided many undocumented young people. It has allowed them to achieve better economic opportunity, attain higher education, enroll in health insurance, and participate more in their local communities. However, many more can still qualify. Another , children, who are currently younger than 15 years old, will age into the program.
Community organizations, families, and DACA beneficiaries themselves will need to make sure that they meet the renewal deadline and fees set by the U. Customs and Immigration Service. The stakes are high, as failure to renew properly could mean a loss of both work authorization and deferral from deportation. Despite the challenges of renewing DACA and making sure more qualifying young people apply for it, DACA has significantly affected the lives of undocumented young people, as well as on the nation. This issue brief discusses the top benefits that DACA provides immigrant youth and takes a look at how the program has helped our economy and society.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. On June 15, , President Barack Obama created a new policy that called for deferred action for eligible undocumented youth and young adults who came to the country as children. Under DACA, undocumented immigrants are granted deferral of deportation from the United States, as well as access to Social Security numbers and renewable two-year work permits.
To be eligible for DACA, unauthorized immigrants must meet the following official requirements from the U. All , DACA beneficiaries must submit renewal request about days before the expiration of their current period of deferred action. DACA improves economic opportunities for undocumented young people. DACA has opened new doors for undocumented youth, leading to a stronger economy for everyone.
Under DACA, undocumented youth are able to apply for and receive temporary work permits. For many, this means the ability to find a job for the first time. For others, it means being able to exit the informal economy and move on to better-paying jobs. Additionally, 45 percent reported an earnings increase. Extending work permits to DACA recipients translates into higher tax revenues as these young people get on the books, earn more, and start paying more in payroll taxes.
These revenues support vital programs such as Social Security and Medicare—even as undocumented immigrants are unable to access these and other social safety net programs. Undocumented young people have also benefited in other ways. These shifts allow young people to spend their new earnings on purchases throughout their communities and to generate new jobs as businesses strive to meet the higher demand for goods and services.
These benefits are especially important because many undocumented young people live in economically vulnerable positions. According to The Migration Policy Institute, an estimated 34 percent of those immediately eligible for DACA lived in families with annual incomes below percent of the federal poverty line. Undocumented young people can achieve higher educational attainment. To qualify for DACA, a young person must have graduated from high school, passed the GED exam, or be currently enrolled in and attending school. Additionally, DACA has helped some undocumented students complete higher education.
In , Texas was the first state to pass legislation that changed its residency requirements so undocumented young people could qualify for in-state tuition. Florida did so this year. Hawaii, Michigan, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Virginia also offer in-state tuition in many of their public colleges and universities; they do so through decisions of their state boards of higher education or advising from their state attorneys general.
DACA has also helped many undocumented students stay in school. The wider student population typically says that it leaves school due to a lack of academic preparation. Undocumented students, however, say that finances force them to leave. The Social Security numbers granted to DACA beneficiaries have also helped many undocumented students access financial help for higher education.
Current federal law continues to prohibit all undocumented students from accessing federal financial aid, including Pell Grants and the Federal Work-Study Program. DACA reduces feelings of disconnect. Deferral-from-removal action and work authorization have given hundreds of thousands of undocumented young people increased peace of mind.
DACA recipients can more comfortably move through their daily routines: It allows young people to have greater peace of mind, which translates to greater participation in the economy and in civic life. This community—and, in particular, transgender individuals—often need proper identification in order to participate fully in society. Without this, undocumented LGBT immigrants can see heightened discrimination from law enforcement or other service providers. This could be linked to mandatory first responder reports to the police or to greater education and outreach to LGBT undocumented survivors, who feel because of DACA that they can report violence.
Civic engagement and participation increases with DACA. While many undocumented young people were highly political prior to DACA, evidence shows that civic engagement has only continued to grow. This has led to civic participation rates that eclipse that of the general population. DACA recipients also connect their families to civic life. Young people are a key source of information for their families on immigration policy issues, and they will be a cornerstone to advocate for the implementation of any future reforms for millions of other undocumented immigrants as well.
Undocumented youth have gained some access to health care. By not using federal funds for the programs that help cover undocumented residents, these states were able to bypass restrictions around the ACA; the District of Columbia, for example, allows all immigrants regardless of status to enroll in health insurance. Greater enrollment in health insurance has enormous positive effects on public health. However, these small fixes do not provide comprehensive care.
Of these people, 96 percent cited lack of insurance as the main reason. DACA has benefited the families of undocumented young people. Undocumented young people are often not the only undocumented person in their family. In families where everyone is undocumented, DACA has allowed young people to provide more services to their families. More action is needed. DACA has provided enormous benefits to undocumented young people. These removals devastate communities and leave broken families behind in the United States. This is partly due to the ability of such young people to leverage their credentials in the job market.
Additionally, more outreach is needed to make sure that all qualifying young people enroll or renew on time. The benefits would also run much deeper and wider if Congress were to pass comprehensive immigration reform and create a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. In the meantime, the president can expand the use of deferred action beyond DACA to other individuals who are not priorities for deportation given their length of U.
This expansion could help stabilize families, communities, and local economies across the country. Se fundaron misiones, pueblos, reales de minas y haciendas ganaderas en Sonora.

We are honored to have such a distinguished group of scholars whose work in and out of the classroom reflects the dynamism and meaning of Latino history as U. The JAH is indebted to all of the participants for their willingness to enter into the online conversation: Creating the Past and Its Futures: Research, teaching, writing, and public outreach are interconnected components of the historical enterprise.
If the past does not change, the way we share it does. As novel strategies for locating, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting the past allow us to imagine anew its future, this dynamism continues. Innovative approaches to identity, society, economy, science, and the state have invigorated scholarly and public engagement in historical questions; while new media and the digital humanities have created new venues for historians to share their stories. Meanwhile, as more diverse individuals and groups enter the profession, we are invited to reconsider not just what we think but also how we convey ideas to others who may not share our basic assumptions.
As scholars and educators, we gather to exchange work and explore how to engage specialists, generalists, students and the public. The program committee solicits panel proposals and individual submissions encompassing new research, pedagogy, research methods, public history, and civic engagement. We invite proposals from all walks and developmental stages of the historical profession and related disciplinary and disciplinary fields.
While we welcome traditional sessions of research papers amplified by learned commentary, we also encourage individuals and groups to consider other presentation formats, which can be found by following the link below.
We hope that by expanding to new session types and being mindful that academics, like our students, acquire information in different ways, we can enrich conversation among all members of the historical profession.

New York Daily News Dec 3, Herman Badillo, the nation's first Puerto Rico-born congressman and a four-time candidate for mayor, has died. The pioneering Badillo, who represented the South Bronx in the House from to , also served as Bronx borough president and ran for mayor as both a Democrat and later as a Republican. Badillo died at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell of complications of congestive heart failure, according to a spokesman, George Arzt. Representative and to be a mayoral candidate in our city, Herman Badillo was one of my inspirations as a young man of Puerto Rican descent who was born and raised in the Bronx and pursuing a career in politics," said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
Orphaned by a tuberculosis epidemic, he moved to the United States as a boy with his aunt. Badillo attended public schools, earned degrees from City College and Brooklyn Law School and also became a certified public accountant. He worked consistently during his schooling -- setting up pins at a bowling alley and stocking food at an automat. After his initial foray into politics via his work with local political clubs, Badillo went to work for then-Mayor Robert Wagner, serving as Commissioner of the Department of Relocation until his election as Bronx borough president in Badillo made his first run for the Democratic nomination for mayor in , and tried again in Per the Library of Congress, "During his first term in the U.
House of Representatives he gained a seat on the Committee on Education and Labor, where he worked on legislation on behalf of his district, where at the time forty-eight percent of the people spoke English as a second language. Through his efforts, job training for unemployed non-English-speaking citizens was included in the Comprehensive Manpower Act of Improving education -- particularly for minorities -- remained a lifelong passion of Badillo's.
I graduated magna cum laude from City College, and in law school, I was first in my class," he recalled in a Daily News profile. Badillo left Congress to serve as deputy to then-Mayor Ed Koch, handling labor relations, but the two eventually had a falling out that led Badillo to leave City Hall to practice law -- and later to support Koch's rival, Mario Cuomo, in the gubernatorial primary.
The victorious Cuomo appointed Badillo head of the state Mortgage Agency. Then in , Badillo ran for city controller on a fusion ticket topped by Republican mayoral candidate Rudy Giuliani. In , as the Daily News reported at the time, Badillo switched to the Republican Party, "pledging to crisscross the country in a marathon effort to lure armies of Hispanics into the GOP's big tent.
Minutes after bolting the Democratic Party, Badillo also opened the door to a possible race for mayor in despite his five flopped attempts to capture City Hall over two decades. The Republicans welcomed Badillo -- who named Thomas Jefferson as his political idol -- enthusiastically: He threw his hat in the ring for the mayoralty once again, losing to the ultimate victor, Michael Bloomberg, who had also ditched the Democratic Party for the GOP. In , Badillo returned to the Democratic Party, saying he did so to further his goal of improving education opportunities for minority students.
More particularly to seek ways to close the educational gap between Hispanics and Blacks and other ethnic groups," he wrote at the time. In keeping with his return to the fold, Badillo endorsed former city Controller Bill Thompson for mayor in after having supported Bloomberg four years earlier. Cuomo in a condolence statement, "Today, New York lost one of its most cherished and revered citizens. Herman Badillo was a longtime public servant who dedicated himself to improving the lives of others. From his tenure as Bronx Borough President to his work leading the CUNY Board of Trustees, Herman was a shining example of how a dedication to civil service can make a difference in the world around us.
As the Bronx's first Puerto Rican Borough President, Herman also embodied the spirit of diversity that defines New York today, and his legacy will live on for years to come. He will be greatly missed. Private services will be held Sunday at the Frank E. Said Giuliani of Badillo in a statement, "He was a champion for civil rights, housing, jobs and safety, but for me his key contributions were in education.
He was the first to point out the dangers of social promotion. He also pointed out that bi-lingual education, originally intended as a temporary criteria to learn English, had become, in many cases, permanent and therefore harmful to the development of young people.
He wrote a report on the failures of the City University system that led to major reform - much of which he presided over as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York. Judith and I will miss him greatly. His remarkable rise from an impoverished orphan in Caguas, P.
Known as a champion for education, civil rights, housing, and jobs, Badillo is credited with establishing the first bilingual education program and the first bilingual job training program in the nation as well as for reforming the City University of New York after many years of decline. A brilliant mind, Badillo taught himself English and went on to graduate with high honors from City College in and from Brooklyn Law School as valedictorian in all while working as a dishwasher, bowling pinsetter, and accountant.

For two days, renowned political science scholars and graduate students met in both plenary and workshop sessions to discuss the study of women of color through diverse theoretical and pedagogical perspectives, empirical methods, curricula development, and scholar activism.
In keeping with the legacy of the inaugural workshop, it is our esteemed honor to host the third Women of Color in Political Science Workshop to convene in as a prelude to the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association. The workshop intends to build a mentoring network of women of color in the political science discipline by addressing the challenges faced by graduate students and faculty as women color and by building a braintrust among the participants for the purpose of enhancing research and teaching on women of color in the discipline.
The workshop will include plenary and panel sessions on research related to topics on women of color such as political participation, intersectionality, public policy, and interdisciplinarity, classroom and curriculum issues in courses about women of color, preparation for important professional milestones, such as going on the job market, going up for tenure promotion to higher ranks in the professoriate, building a research agenda and publishing strategies, and acknowledgement of departmental climate issues faced by researchers in this area.
Participants also will be able to choose among small group discussion sessions on different theories, methods quantitative and qualitative approaches , frameworks, and empirical topics commonly encountered in research on women of color. Women of color who are advanced graduate students, junior faculty, and associate professors who are interested in studying the political experiences of women of color are urged to apply.
Those who do not work explicitly in the fields of women of color, gender, intersectionality, etc.

Visit the FB page: Ellen Ochoa has a life story that highlights just how well second generation immigrants from Mexico are doing in America today!
Her story should inspire us all, especially the children and grandchildren of immigrants from third world nations. Joseph Ochoa was a retail store manager, and Roseanne Ochoa a homemaker. Ellen grew up mostly in La Mesa, California. Joseph was born and raised in Arizona to immigrant parents from Sonora, Mexico, one of 12 children.
His parents were born in the s, and his father was a newspaper editor in Mexico, then owned a store in Arizona. While growing up in Arizona, Joseph felt the sting of rampant discrimination against Hispanics, for example Hispanics were only allowed to use the public pool the day before cleaning because it was felt they dirtied the pool. Though Joseph was bilingual, he spoke English only at home, not wanting to teach his children Spanish, fearing the lash of discrimination he had experienced if they spoke Spanish or spoke English with an accent.
Joseph and Roseanne Ochoa divorced when Ellen was in junior high school, and Ellen and her four siblings lived with their mother. Education of Ellen Ochoa: Ellen then attended San Diego State University, majoring in physics, and graduated once again as valedictorian! Ellen Ochoa graduation photo: Ellen Ochoa then received a master of science degree and doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University in and At the time there were few women studying engineering and the sciences, and Ellen Ochoa was discouraged from pursuing these fields because she was a woman, but she persevered and excelled.
Stanford is a top notch university for engineering and the sciences, and just being admitted to a prestigious university like Stanford is an accomplishment in itself. I studied Electrical engineering about the same time as Ellen at UNO, and just six of students were women, who were all especially hard working and motivated to succeed.
Ochoa investigated optical systems for performing information processing. She is a co-inventor on three patents for an optical inspection system, an optical object recognition method, and a method for noise removal in images. As Chief of the Intelligent Systems Technology Branch at Ames, she supervised 35 engineers and scientists in the research and development of computational systems for aerospace missions.
Ochoa has presented numerous papers at technical conferences and in scientific journals. Ochoa became an astronaut in July A veteran of four space flights, Dr. Ochoa has logged over hours in space. Ochoa currently serves as Director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. We're excited to finally take the wraps off our collaboration with Sesame Street!

Although there were clouds in the horizon, I was able to grasp the situation.
I could foresee the imminent storm and ugly stain of xenophobia that had increased since the early s, acerbated by the arrival of large numbers of white easterners and Midwesterners, who incessantly complained about Mexicans messing up their Pleasantville — too much color.

El juego de la cuerda en las manos puede, como en otros cuadros, servir de clave para descifrar algo no revelado. Seguidamente, empieza a representar una figura aislada, desprovista de cualquier signo externo que la identifique, literalmente desnuda: Pero el resultado captado en el lienzo es de naturaleza religiosa y no profana. El sexo de ella ocupa el cuerpo masculino, se fusiona el torso masculino con el cuerpo de ella.
En los rasgos faciales de ambos se aprecia un parentesco; los contornos de uno son los de la otra.

Il pittore spagnolo, nato a Saragozza nel , che vive e lavora a Madrid, inizia a dipingere a olio fin da giovanissimo, nel , da artista autodidatta. Come puntualizza lo stesso artista: La psico analisi delle sue opere va dunque affrontata come ermeneutica del profondo, recezione-proiezione di simboli e archetipi, che, sotto forma di immagini cariche di contenuti inconsci, come schegge psichiche si conficcano nei lati sconosciuti ma reali del nostro mondo interiore.
Non va infatti scordato che per Jung: E soprattutto, esso si manifesta sotto forma di immagini: Crea combinazioni subliminali e in prospettiva, come la nostra coscienza, con la differenza che sono decisamente superiori, per raffinatezza e portata, alle combinazioni della coscienza. Il pittore infatti dialoga con il suo inconscio, lo fotografa, lo vede, vedendolo lo comprende.
Dove ha visto Valls questi volti dallo sguardo precipitato, trasfigurato e, irrimediabilmente metafisico? Questo il primo tassello del labirinto valsiano: I sogni sono un esempio di questo processo, ma Jung mette in guardia dal fatto che non sono di molto aiuto nel facilitare la funzione trascendente. Lo psicologo junghiano Luca Coladarci approfondisce ulteriormente: I pazienti restavano affascinati da un'immagine onirica e dicevano che, se avessero saputo disegnare o dipingere, avrebbero voluto darle espressione. Le sue parole lo confermano: Ogni avvicinamento all'inconscio dev'essere indiretto e mediato dalla civilizzazione.
Valls dunque supera il surrealismo e lo fa attraverso Jung: Dante e Virgilio sono archetipi che riguardano noi tutti, il viaggio verso il paradiso interiore spetta ad ogni essere umano. Come uno psicoanalista del cavalletto. Esposte ci sono psicoanalisi da parete, specchi dell'inconscio collettivo. Le scienze e le religioni pretendono di spiegare l'eterna domanda del senso dell'esistenza, la profonda dicotomia tra il materiale e lo spirituale. Tornano alla mente le parole di Rudolf Steiner: Tale armonia dunque, unifica gli opposti, i quali trovavano felice convivenza combaciando addirittura: Uno sguardo che parla.
Le immagini di Valls sono inquietanti o moralmente provocatorie, recano spesso contenuti dolorosi, folli, disperati ma anche penetranti, quieti, religiosi. Il volto risponde ad un tipo di bellezza che mi commuove: A tale riguardo e in relazione alla sua opera, Valls afferma: Il dissidio sembra palese, la distanza marcata, come coniugare tali opposti dunque? Di dove trae origine il simbolo? Il simbolismo nelle opere: Appartengono al primo gruppo opere quali: Esso merita dunque attenzione.
Le stoffe raccontano questo percorso. Sappiamo infatti che nelle icone della tradizione slava la prospettiva era abolita: Il colore oro invece stava proprio ad enunciare il valore massimo di essere: Valls riprende proprio questo importante elemento mutuandolo dalla tradizione iconica bizantina, per marcare la presenza del trascendente in alcune sue figure. Come sottolinea anche Eliade infatti: Nella prefazione della stessa opera, lo psichiatra svizzero asserisce: Gaston Bachelard riflette su questo tema: Il filosofo a questo proposito approfondisce il concetto della co-creazione: Essa dunque sembra fuoriuscire dallo stesso teatro, pur facendone ancora parte.
Questi due colori mescolati insieme danno il viola che esprime moderazione, misura, temperanza, per tornare agli Arcani Maggiori. Sebbene il pittore punti alla psiche e ai suoi tormenti, il martirio che spesso dipinge, include tanto la mente quanto il corpo.
A tale proposito Sgarbi scrive: Di qui la grandezza del pittore: E, ovviamente, lo sguardo del paziente: In esso, come anche in molti di quelli proposti dal pittore spagnolo, si respirano insieme echi medievali ed echi atemporali: Anche Sgarbi si sofferma su questo aspetto: Amazon Advertising Find, attract, and engage customers.
