So he encourages everybody to start propagating "the humanness in us". The central activity of this visit was an evening presentation ofAmericanos, at Rhodes Hall. There, he was joined by co-editor Lea Ybarra, Director ofthe Institute for Academic Advancement ofYouth at John Hopkins University, and photographer Antonio Perez. The presentation touched many aspects of Latino life in the US. Most of all, it emphasized that Latinos have to believe in themselves and the richness of their diverse heritage, something that should make them proud members of this society. Congratulations to Matthew Camacho-Edwards and Sheila Kilty who worked hard to make this visit possible. The presentation was co-sponsored by Division ofStudent Affairs, Ethnic Student Services, Hispanic Student Services, Latino/a Studies, Office of Minority Affairs, OSU Medical Center, UCHO and Coca-Cola.

  • Commercial Films/Video Tapes on Teaching
    Commercial Films/Video Tapes On Teaching Prepared by Gary D Fenstermacher Three categories of film or video are included here, depending on whether teaching occurs in the setting of a school (Category I), in a tutorial relationship between teacher and student (Category II), or simply as a plot device in a comedy about or parody of teaching and schooling (Category III). Films described in Category I are listed alphabetically, within decade headings; it is the year the film was made, not the time period it depicts, that determines the decade in which the film is classified. Category I: Depicting Teachers in School Settings 1930's Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Robert Donat, Greer Garson. British schoolmaster devoted to "his boys." Remade as musical in 1969, starring Peter O'Toole; remake received poor reviews. If you select this film, please do not use the remade version; use the original, 1939, film. It is a first-rate film. 1940's The Corn is Green (1945). Bette Davis, Nigel Bruce. Devoted teacher copes with prize pupil in Welsh mining town in 1895.

Being Edward James Olmos: Culture Clash and the Portrayal of Chicano Masculinity Abstract This paper analyzes how Culture Clash problematizes Chicano masculinity through the manipulation of two iconic Chicano characters originally popularized by two films starring dwarE d James Olmos - the pachuco from Luis Valdez’s Zoot Suit (1981) and the portrayal of real-life math teacher Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver (1988). In “Stand and Deliver Pizza” (from A Bowl of Beings, 1992), Culture Clash tries to introduce new Chicano characters that can be read as masculine, and who at the same time, display alternative behaviors and characteristics, including homosexual desire. The three characters in “Stand and Deliver Pizza” represent stock icons of Chicano masculinity.

    Statement for the House Judiciary Committee Hearing Hearing on Diversity in America: The Representation of People of Color in the Media September 24, 2020 EDWARD JAMES OLMOS Good afternoon. My name is Edward James Olmos; I am an American film, television, and theatrical actor of Mexican descent. I am a producer, screenwriter, and director of film and television. Blade Runner, Selena, Battlestar Galactica, and Miami Vice are just a few examples of my work in film and television productions. Still, my overall body of work consists of over one hundred and twenty-one films, over three hundred television shows, and the iconic role of El Pachuco in the theatrical and film production of Zoot Suit – for which I received a Tony Award nomination. I have an estimated 29 awards as an actor and some 27 nominations. With that said, I want to tell you that I am also a storyteller – a truth-teller. Here is my truth: In 1981, I produced and starred in a film entitled The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez, lauded as a landmark of Chicano cinema. This film depicts a Mexican American farm worker who speaks no English and is falsely accused of stealing a Texas Ranger’s horse. A heated misunderstanding leads to the death of a lawman. Cortez is forced to run from the Texas Rangers. This film peels away layers of prejudice and myth surrounding Cortez, uncovering an ordinary hard-working man persecuted by the law and put on trial for murder. I drove from city-to-city in my beat-up car, promoting and screening this film free of charge to anyone who would have it (and me).
