Corona Papers , M0248, Dept. of Special Collections, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Acquisition Information Gift of Bert Corona, 1980 and 1986. Biographical Note Born in El Paso, Texas, in 1918, Corona joined the labor movement soon after his arrival in Los Angeles in 1936. He became a prominent organizer within the CIO, helping to organize Spanish-speaking workers in low-paying jobs. During the 1930s he was also involved in organizational work within the Mexican American community and, along with Luisa Moreno, Josefina Fierro, Eduardo Quevedo and others, he participated in El Congreso de Pueblos de Habla Española, one of the earliest Mexican American groups to address political concerns. During the 1940s, when animosity between the Los Angeles Police Department and the Mexican American community was growing, Corona was instrumental in defusing the tensions. He was active in the Citizens' Committee for te Defense of Mexican-American Youth (also known as the Sleepy Lagoon Defense Committee) which represented the first organized effort led by Mexican Americans to resist police attacks on their Guide to the Bert N. Corona Special Collections M0248 2 Papers , 1923-1984 community. The 1950s were a quieter period for Corona, since the hysteria generated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy and the McCarran-Walter Acts made it difficult for political activists to function. Despite the period's conservatism and xenophobia, Corona continued to be politically active, serving as Regional Organizer for ANMA (National Association of Mexican-Americans), an organization formed in 1948 which fought to preserve the cultural heritage of Mexican Americans. As Regional Organizer, Corona spent a good amount of time traveling, organizing local chapters, and working with braceros, who were among the organizations strongest supporters. When the Chicano movement emerged in the late 1960s, Corona was able to provide experienced leadership. He worked with organizations whose activities were strictly political, serving as President of the Mexican-American Political Association (MAPA) and encouraging the formation of an independent Chicano political party, La Raza Unida Party. At the same time Corona grew increasingly concerned with the welfare of undocumented Mexican workers who were less likely to participate openly in political organizations. Unhappy with the United Farm Workers policy towards the undocumented workers, he formed El Centro de Ayuda. Staffed by volunteers from various law firms, the center assisted workers with immigration problems, while at the same time encouraging the workers to organize. El Centro grew quickly and eventually changed its name to reflect its expanded functions, becoming the Centro de Acción Social Autónoma (CASA). In addition to work on immigration policy, Corona has taught Chicano Studies at the California State University Los Angeles, where he worked for over a decade. Scope and Content The bulk of the Corona papers consists of files from his organizational work and course material for his Chicano Studies classes. The papers were sorted into subject files to give the collection dimension and to provide a key to the breadth of Corona's interests and activities. The papers are particularly strong in Mexican American political affairs and the international labor movement. The first nine series are personal files that contain information specifically about Corona. Series II contains speeches and manuscripts for publication attributed to Corona, although it was frequently impossible to distinguish between a manuscript destined for publication and one that was presented at a meeting or lecture. Many manuscripts were used for several purposes. Series III, Correspondence, is mainly incoming letters and notices from organizations, arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. Many letters were kept but never opened by Corona. This mail was opened and arranged because it reflected the many organizations with which Corona kept in touch and it was an indication of the scope of Mexican American political activities in the United States and other western countries. Series X, (Subject Files), with sixteen sub-series, is the longest and most complex series. The files in this collection were gathered from several of his offices, including the files he kept at the various organizations where he worked, and his teaching files from the University of California at Los Angeles, and at Fullerton. Chicano Studies (Sub-series M), contains material Corona used to prepare lectures and presentations for his classes at California State University at Los Angeles and at Fullerton. He also taught courses occasionally at Berkeley and at San Francisco State and other institutions. The multiple copies of articles found in this sub-series were assumed to be required reading materials for distribution to his students. In addition to reading material there are course descriptions, syllabi, bibliographies, flyers, campus notices and other information on immigration, labor issues, and related issues. Duplicates were kept only if they had unusual artistic or historical value. The remaining subject headings are self-explanatory, except for Series X, Sub-series M: Student Papers. Corona kept many term papers and examination papers submitted by his students. All of the student papers were written for Corona's Chicano Studies Classes and are on topics related to the courses. The papers in this subseries were put in alphabetical order by title. A list of titles is in the Corona Collection File folder. Files that did not fit into the major subjects, and those that bridge several headings, were alphabetized in Series XI. Lengthy folder titles should aid the researcher in finding useful primary material. The few photographs found in the collection form Series XII. Series XIII contains divorce case files and are closed temporarily because of the private nature of the files. A list of the litigants' names are in the Corona Collection file folder and are not included in this Guide. Finally, Series XIV contains an impressive array of newspapers from all over the world. These are not complete runs of any series, but selected issues Corona kept, usually for the articles and information on immigration problems and labor action in many different countries.

Guatemala was a key battleground of the Cold War in Latin America in the crucial decade of the 1960s. While greater scholarly attention has focused on the 1954 U.S. backed CIA planned cou~ in Guatemala, the events of the 1960s proved an equally significant watershed in U.S.-Latin American relations. Tue outbreak of a nationalist insurgency in Guatemala early in the decade provided the Kennedy Administration with a vital testing ground for its new counter-insurgency and civic action politico-military doctrine.

  • AFSC and the Poor People's Campaign of 1968 Gordon Mantler
    Partners in Justice and Peace: AFSC and the Poor People’s Campaign of 1968 Gordon Mantler, Ph.D. University Writing Program The George Washington University (INTRO SLIDE) On December 4, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. formally announced a much- anticipated program of mass civil disobedience that was aimed at forcing the federal government to rededicate itself to the War on Poverty. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King stated, would launch a Poor People’s Campaign to dramatize poverty in the United States by leading “waves of the nation’s poor and disinherited to Washington, D.C. … to secure at least jobs or income for all.” During the following spring, “we will be petitioning our government for specific reforms and we intend to build militant nonviolent actions until that government moves against poverty.”i At the heart of the plan was King’s notion of “militant nonviolence,” illustrated through a series of planned marches, rallies, demonstrations, and sit-ins designed to tie up federal agencies and Congress – all emanating from a central, semi-permanent campout of poor people on the National Mall called Resurrection City.ii If such “massive dislocation” failed to move decision-makers in Washington, then demonstrators would take their protests home to cities and smaller communities across the country, as well as to the two major party political conventions that summer. One way or another, King promised, the poor would be acknowledged in the richest nation in the world. (PPC SLIDE) 1 King’s vision of an “army of the poor” was ambitious, to say the least, because it sought nothing less than the transformation of an already-evolving black freedom struggle into a genuine national movement of, by, and for poor people.

Orozco This essay is an assessment of the literature on Mexican -origin women's participation in voluntary associations and politics in the nineteenth and twentieth century. In making this assessment, I will: l) discuss conceptual problems in the literature; 2) explain why there is a paucity of research on the topic; 3) examine racial, gender, and sexuality ideologies to explain these gaps; 4) point to these ideologies in the current literature; and 5) provide directions for reconceptualizing the study of Mexican- origin women in organizational life. Attention will be given to heterosexual women and lesbians in mixed -gender organizations, and associations composed entirely of women. In 1967, when historian Kaye Lynn Briegel began her thesis on Mexican American political associations, she noted that "it was curious" that she found only one article on Mexican American organizations in an academic journal.' Pre -1970 scholars, primarily European - American men, had largely ignored la Raza.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Norvel Smith A LIFE IN EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICE Interviews conducted by Nadine Wilmot in 2002 and 2003 Copyright © 2004 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Norvel Smith, dated July 29, 2002. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. No part of the manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of the Director of The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
