Today in Labor History March 14, 1954: Salt of the Earth premiered. The film depicted the 1951 strike of Mexican-American workers at the Empire Zinc mine, in New Mexico. The film was one of the first to portray a feminist political point of view, particularly through Actress Rosaura Revueltas’s role as Esperanza Quintero. When the Company uses the new Taft-Hartley Act (which also bans General Strikes) to impose an injunction preventing the men from picketing, their wives go walk the picket line in their places. LGBTQ and labor activist Will Geer (Pa Walton) also played in the film. Writer Michael Wilson, director Herbert Biberman and producer Paul Jarrico had all been blacklisted for their alleged communist ties. Only 13 of the 13,000 theaters in the U.S. showed the film.

Chicano artist Lalo Alcaraz is clever and talented. He’s worked on some big projects and is published in big papers. But I think his personal art is the best.

He has a shop. Maybe you’ll want to gift something to someone. Maybe even yourself. 😉

"Santiago Jiménez, Sr. (1913–84), born in San Antonio, Texas, began to play the accordion at the age of eight. His father Patricio, born in Eagle Pass, Texas, also played the accordion. Jiménez, Sr., was known for his use of the two-row button accordion even after the still popular three-row instruments were introduced. During the 1930s, he and Narciso Martínez pioneered the use of the accordion in Texas-Mexican music. Jiménez, Sr. enjoyed a long recording career into the 1950s and ’60s. Flaco Jiménez and his brother, Santiago Jiménez, Jr., continued in their father’s footsteps—both continue to perform today.

Overheard in Texas:

At a bus stop: "Hispanic? That's amazing, you don't look at all Hispanic!"

In a library: "So I told them, we're not like that, we're not white, we're Mexican."

I've lived in Texas for years, but I still find ethnicity here hard to understand.

For many first-generation Mexican American college graduates, the definition of success includes paying their parents' bills or even buying them a home.

CHICANO MOVEMENT 1960’s

[Ruben] Salazar : “I think we are in a revolution. I think the United States is traditionally a revolutionary country…We are going to overthrow some of our institutions, but in the way that Americans have always done it: through the ballot, through public consensus. That’s a revolution. That is a real revolution.”
