    Copyright by Jennifer Rose Nájera 2005 The Dissertation Committee for Jennifer Rose Nájera Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Troublemakers, Religiosos, or Radicals? Everyday Acts of Racial Integration in a South Texas Community Committee: Martha Menchaca, Supervisor Richard Flores José Limón Angela Valenzuela Emilio Zamora Troublemakers, Religiosos, or Radicals? Everyday Acts of Racial Integration in a South Texas Community by Jennifer Rose Nájera, A.B.; A.M.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2005 Dedication To my parents, Joe and Rose Najera, and to the Mexican origin people of La Feria whose stories had not been told. Acknowledgements The process of conceptualizing, researching, and writing this dissertation has challenged me both professionally and personally in that this project has been almost as much auto/ethnography as it has been historical ethnography. While it is has always been my intention to produce a written work that I could share with the community of La Feria, I have also written this dissertation for myself. It is a history of the town where my mother was born and lived the earliest years of her life after our family emigrated from Mexico. While it has, at times, felt like opening old wounds to write about practices of segregation, it is my hope that also writing about integration may help to heal those wounds. I would first and foremost like to thank the people of La Feria, who so generously welcomed me into their community as a prodigal daughter, scholar, fellow traveler, and friend.

  • 1 the Matz Family Has Played an Important Role in Both Harlingen and Cameron County History. the Following Items Document Some
    The Matz Family has played an important role in both Harlingen and Cameron County history. The following items document some of its contributions. Presentation About E.O. and Eleanor Matz To Harlingen Historical Preservation Society General Public Meeting Harlingen Public Library November 11, 2005 By James R. Matz 1 I’d like to begin by commending Mary – you and everybody else who is associated with the Harlingen Historical Preservation Society. What you do is something that is so really very important. I had a chance to visit with Rafael for a little bit while we were setting things up. That you are able to attract people like Rafael to become members of your group I think is really great. I also would like to congratulate you folks for what you did at the Harlingen Museum. We became aware of the Dia de los Muertos “the Day of the Dead” exhibits from Mary Lou. The exhibits were outstanding. I just hope that each year more and more people will come and have a chance to see those because it’s obvious that an awful lot time and effort went into what was done. I would like to mention that we have some friends of ours here today, Joan and Rod Olson. They spend four or five months up north where it’s a little bit cooler in the summer and then come down here in the winter time just like the ducks and the geese. So, we’re glad you’re here as well as Lynn Lerberg, their daughter. That having been said, I guess what I’d like to do today is talk a little bit about both Mom and Dad.

  • Many Stars Come from Texas
    MANY STARS COME FROM TEXAS. t h e T erry fo un d atio n MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER he Terry Foundation is nearing its sixteenth anniversary and what began modestly in 1986 is now the largest Tprivate source of scholarships for University of Texas and Texas A&M University. This April, the universities selected 350 outstanding Texas high school seniors as interview finalists for Terry Scholarships. After the interviews were completed, a record 165 new 2002 Terry Scholars were named. We are indebted to the 57 Scholar Alumni who joined the members of our Board of Directors in serving on eleven interview panels to select the new Scholars. These freshmen Scholars will join their fellow upperclass Scholars next fall in College Station and Austin as part of a total anticipated 550 Scholars: the largest group of Terry Scholars ever enrolled at one time. The spring of 2002 also brought graduation to 71 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors and are moving on to further their education in graduate studies or Howard L. Terry join the workforce. We also mark 2002 by paying tribute to one of the Foundations most dedicated advocates. Coach Darrell K. Royal retired from the Foundation board after fourteen years of outstanding leadership and service. A friend for many years, Darrell was instrumental in the formation of the Terry Foundation and served on the Board of Directors since its inception. We will miss his seasoned wisdom, his keen wit, and his discerning ability to judge character: all traits that contributed to his success as a coach and recruiter and helped him guide the University of Texas football team to three national championships.
