Title A name given to the resource Marker unveiling celebration in 2017 Description An account of the resource A Texas Historical Commission marker was erected in 2017 at Hidalgo County Courthouse to commemorate the historic march. The marker reads: "In summer 1966, hundreds of men, women, and children harvesting cantaloupes in Rio Grande City and Starr County organized with the United Farm Workers and demanded growers raise wages from 40 cents to $1.25 an hour. When their demands were ignored, farm workers walked out on strike and picketed the fields. On the first day of the strike, the Texas Rangers arrested the leader of the farm workers. The workers did not give up. On July 4, 1966, a core group of 30 strikers began a peaceful 400-mile march through South Texas communities to the State Capitol in Austin, gathering support for their cause along the way. On July 7, Mayor Al Ramirez greeted the marchers to the City of Edinburg on their way to a Mass at the shrine of Our Lady of San Juan served by the new bishop, Humberto Medeiros, who endorsed their cause to raise wages to $1.25 an hour. They continued through Weslaco, Edcouch-Elsa and continued on their mark which took them throughout South Texas towns. One hot August day, as marchers rested on the side of the road north of New Braunfels, Governor John Connally, Attorney General Waggoner Carr and Speaker of the House Ben Barnes stopped on their dove hunting trip to South Texas to tell them, “No need to continue because we won’t be at the Capitol when you arrive and we will not consider a minimum wage bill in a special session.” That did not deter the marchers. On Labor Day 1966, the strikers with 10,000 supporters, marched the last four miles from St. Edwards University to the state Capitol. The strike continued into 1967. Los Rinches (the Texas Rangers) and county sheriff’s deputies brutally beat and jailed them in order to break the strike. As a result of the walkouts, a Texas minimum wage law finally passed the Legislature in 1970. In a 1974 ruling (Allee v. Medrano), the U.S. Supreme Court found the Texas Rangers, Starr County’s Sheriff’s Department and a Starr County Justice of the Peace conspired to deprive farm workers of their constitutional rights of free speech and assembly by unlawfully arresting and physically assaulting them. The U.S. Supreme Court in the ruling permanently enjoined the Texas Rangers and its officers from intimidating workers in their organizing efforts. The Rio Grande Valley melon strike was the beginning of the Chicano Movement in Texas. The United Farm Workers members and supporters erected a building brick-by-brick in San Juan and opened its doors to the community in 1972. The original Farm Workers Union Hall in Rio Grande City was in a theater at North Flores and Ringgold Streets. Catholic Bishop Humberto Medeiros donated this 10-acre site to the Alliance for Labor Action. On August 31, 1970, the property was transferred to Cesar Chavez’s national farm workers service center, now the Cesar Chavez Foundation. The building in San Juan and the Farm Worker Movement continue serving farm workers and other low-income residents to this day in Hidalgo County."

Title A name given to the resource Bazán and Longoria Murders Historical Marker Subject The topic of the resource lynching civil rights Violence against--Mexicanos Description An account of the resource Photograph of the Bazán and Longoria Murders historical marker Erected 2016 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 18584.) "On September 27, 1915, Jesus Bazán and his son-in-law, Antonio Longoria – both recognized Tejano community leaders and the latter a Hidalgo County commissioner – traveled to a local Texas Ranger camp on the Sam Lane ranch to report a horse robbery that occurred a few days prior at their ranch north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County. Although Bazán and Longoria should have had the law on their side, anti-Mexican violence in the region was persistent. After a seemingly uneventful conversation with Ranger Captain Henry Ransom, the two men left on horseback. When they were about 300 yards from the campsite, laborers on Sam Lane’s ranch witnessed Captain Ransom and two civilians climb into a Model T Ford and follow the men. One passenger reached outside a window and shot both men in the back. Bazán and Longoria fell from their horses and died on the side of the road. Unfazed by the shooting, it was reported that Captain Ransom returned to the campsite to take a nap, leaving the bodies to decompose. Several days later, a family friend and neighbor buried the men where they fell. Neither the Texas Rangers nor local law enforcement investigated, explained or reported the murders. In 1919, as a result of the Bazán and Longoria murders and many other incidents of violence against Mexican Americans, the Texas Legislature conducted a formal investigation into state and local law enforcement practices. Many law enforcement groups were reorganized as a result. Memories of the murders continue through oral tradition, reflecting this violent yet pivotal time in Texas history.

Title A name given to the resource La Matanza Subject The topic of the resource Lynching Violence against--Mexicanos Texas Rangers Civil rights Description An account of the resource La Matanza, or The Massacre, refers to a period of sustained violence against ethnic Mexicans in Texas amid the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Mexicanos and Tejanos were systematically targeted and denied due process by the U.S. Army, Texas Rangers, and other vigilante groups in response to the so-called Bandit Wars along the U.S.-Mexico Border. Tensions reached their peak following the Plan de San Diego (1915), giving rise to a period of lynchings and massacres known as the Hora de Sangre. It is impossible to know how the number of victims, as people were disappeared, murders went undocumented, neighbors informed on one another, and families fled South to Mexico. However, the killing of at least 300 Mexican-Americans are documented during La Mantanza.

Title A name given to the resource Fort Ringgold Subject The topic of the resource Civil rights Segregation in military Racism Description An account of the resource Racial tension between residents of Rio Grande City and black soldiers of Troop D, Ninth Cavalry stationed at Fort Ringgold escalated following the October 16, 1899 shooting of two soldiers after a gambling dispute. The two injured soldiers were charged, tried, and fined for inciting the crime against them. Subsequently, Troop D was increasingly harrassed and violence was threatened against them on Nov. 20, 1899. Presuming an assault on the garrison that evening, Post Commander 2d Lt. E. H. Rubottom ordered extra guards and scouts as gunfire erupted between residents and soldiers. When the gunfire exchange escalated, Rubottom ordered a Gatling gun to be shot to quell the violence, resulting in one minor injury. Official federal and state investigations and proceedings failed to assign culpability to the citizens of Rio Grande City, and unsurprisingly, the Starr County grand jury found the soldiers acted without provocation and the US Army stated Rubottom had acted unwisely.

Title A name given to the resource Texas Historical Commission Marker for the Pharr Riot Description An account of the resource Inscription reads: On Feb. 6, 1971, a small group gathered outside the Pharr police department to protest incidents of discrimination and brutality. The crowd grew to hundreds and the day turned violent as tensions with law enforcement escalated. During the chaos that became known as the Pharr Riot, a law enforcement officer shot and killed bystander Alfonso Loredo Flores. For several weeks, Union y Fuerza and other groups picketed city hall and boycotted businesses. Events in Pharr received national media attention. In the aftermath, the city's mayor, commissioners, and chief of police resigned. In June 1972, citizens elected their first Mexican American mayor. These important events in Texas' Chicano movement advanced civil rights and political engagement. Erected 2018 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 20119.)

Title A name given to the resource Newspaper clippings for Onion Strike (1979) Description An account of the resource Texas Farmworkers Union launched an onion pickers strike on April 4, 1979, on the farm of Charles Wetegrove, son of Edward Raymond, founder of the city of Raymondville. As with previous farmworker strikes, local law enforcement was brought in by growers as a means to deter picketers and protestors. Organizers, like Juanita Valdez, and others were arrested. As TFW attempted to negotiate higher wages for onion pickers, their efforts were ended prematurely by Othal Brand of McAllen, who brought in his own farmworkers and bought out all the produce in the fields. During the same period, United Farm Workers led a strike of Gulf Distributing Company's fields near Mercedes. UFW advocated for farmworker wage increases from $0.60 to $2.00 per bag of onions. Farmworker unrest spread throughout the Valley, including "sit-down" strikes in Weslaco and Alton.
