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.

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 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 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 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 [photocopy] List of Demands for Edcouch-Elsa Walkout (p. 1) Subject The topic of the resource Edcouch Elsa School Walkout Description An account of the resource LIST OF DEMANDS We, the student body of Edcouch-Elsa Junior and Senior High School, demand of the officials and administrators: 1. That no disciplinary action be taken against any student or teacher that has taken part in this movement and that all suspended students and teachers be re-instated to their previous post or office and that any mention of such action omitted from school records. Also all intimidations should stop, 2. That no threats, intimidation or penalties be made against any student by teachers or administrators for membership or attendance of meetings of any club or organization outside of school. 3. That the students be allowed to select their own candidates for Student Council --- it should be the students Student Council. 4. That excessive and unfair penalties and punishments stop being given students for minor infractions or completely ridiculous reasons, for example: a) student suspended three days for failure to keep appointment with teacher after school. b) student suspended for three days for failing to stand at school pep rally! c) if something ( shorts, tennis shoes,) are stolen from lockers the students are punished (paddled or sent to do manual Labor) for not being able to suit up! Likewise, that due process be followed in cases of suspension or expulsion of students, that is, that a student be given opportunity to defend himself and that evidence be presented to both administrators and parents. Also no paddling should be given student until explanation for punishment be given to parents, if students request such explanation. 5. That no teacher or administrator shall use profanity or abusive language in presence of students and in no case shall any teacher or administrator lay a hand on a student. 6. That, in the case of tardy or absent students, the students be allowed to re-enter class and no points taken off until his excuse is verified or not. Students should not be kept out of class till parents call school. 7. That either the price of the cafeteria lunch be lowered to a more reasonable price or that more and better foods be served. 8. That, as Chicano students, we be allowed to speak our mother tongue, Spanish, on school premises without being subjected to humiliating or unjust penalties, 9. That courses be introduced, as a regular part of the curriculum, to show the contributions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans to this state and region. For instance, factual accounts of the history of the Southwest and Texas, courses in Mexican history and culture. Also, that qualified, certified teachers be hired to teach these courses. 10. That all college preparatory courses be signalled out for students by time they enter high school. 11. That more effective counseling be given students from understanding counselors that are able to relate to students. Present student-counselor ratio is too great, we need more counselors. Likewise, more assemblies on career opportumtles, availability of scholarships', grants, loans, college entrance requirements, etc. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1968-11-07 https://omeka.utrgv.edu/files/original/7c6480bf42a92a7524ab10821868e965.pdf f11e3ab6cd5dc59e7cf95d611cd04329 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource [photocopy] List of Demands for Edcouch-Elsa Walkout, continued Description An account of the resource 12. Finally that the blatant discrimination against the Mexican American students in this school stop immediately. We demand Justice. 13. That regulations for "passes" be set down clearly and defined so that no question remains as to when passes are needed or not. The present system, or lack of it, is ridiculous. 14. That special attention be given the situation a great number of Edcouch-Elsa students find themselves in - that is, they are migrant workers. a) Student choices of subjects in spring registration be respected and adopted m the fall term, these subject forms are often disregarded. b) Migrants leave school early, they take part in an accelerated program Advance tests are supposed to be given before they leave. Often teachers do not let migrants take tests or do not send tests to students up north after them. All tests should be given to migrant students before they leave. , 15. That school facilities be improved, renovated, replaced or installed where appropriate. For example: a) Fans-teachers often use fans only for their own comfort, ignoring students. b) Heaters-The heaters are for the most part outdated and not in working order. We need new heaters. c) Restrooms-Some of the restrooms and toilets are not cleaned and inoperable; constantly out of repair. d) Windows-Fix broken windows. e) Walls-repair holes in wall. Give school buildings a face-lifting. f) How about Hot water for the showers. We want to be proud of our school. Recommendations 1. Teachers have been driving buses for the district up till-now. We recommend that either students, senior students, or townspeople be hired to fill these positions. 2. We recommend that longer periods of time be given to get to classes between classes. Five minutes would be sufficient.
