Erased Histories: Violence Against Mexican Americans
Date and Time
Monday, April 13, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location
Lake Ontario Hall, Room 164
Description
This event explores the history of racialized violence against Mexican and Mexican American communities. Through a screening of Porvenir, Texas, and a guided discussion, we will examine La Matanza (1915–1918) and the 1954 deportation campaign known as Operation Wetback. Together, we will reflect on how state power, border enforcement, and historical memory continue to shape our understanding of justice and identity.
Co-sponsored by the History Department and the Political Science Department.
