    a film by Susanne Mason National PBS television broadcast on Independent Lens: Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Produced and Directed by Susanne Mason Running Time: 54 Minutes PRESS CONTACT: [email protected] (512) 476-0930 WRIT WRITER is a co-production of Passage Productions and the Independent Television Service (ITVS), in association with Latino Public Broadcasting, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) www.writwritermovie.com Synopsis The year is 1960. A young man in San Antonio, Texas is arrested for robbery. He pleads not- guilty, but is convicted and sent to a racially-segregated state prison farm to pick cotton in 1961. He wants to appeal his conviction, but can’t afford a lawyer. With his eighth grade education he reads every law book he can in prison and files his appeal pro se. Prison life is brutal—corporal punishments frequently cruel—and he believes it’s wrong. So he writes a lawsuit against the prison director, and the walls of solitary confinement close in on him. WRIT WRITER tells the story of jailhouse lawyer Fred Arispe Cruz (b.1939—d.1986) and the legal battle he waged to secure what he believed to be the constitutional rights of Texas prisoners. Told by wardens, prisoners, and ex-convicts who knew Cruz, the film evokes from contemporary and archival film and documentation the fascinating transformation of a prisoner and a prison system haunted by their pasts. WRIT WRITER [2/26/08 Press Kit] 2 About the film WRIT WRITER tells the story of a self-taught jailhouse lawyer named Fred Arispe Cruz who challenged the constitutionality of prison conditions in Texas in the 1960s, and launched the state’s prisoners’ rights movement.

    Dream Catchers- Newsletter February 2018- Volume 6, No.9 _______________________________________________________________________________________ “Education is the closest thing to magic in America.”- Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina “Education has shown us time and time again that it can succeed in breaking old cycles of poverty, chains of discrimination, and limited opportunities for some of society’s most maligned and marginalized groups.”- https://www.newamerica.org/weekly/edition-155/continued-mis-education-black-americans/ CTN Helps Increase Opportunities for Underserved Students The month of February is Black History Month. It is a time to revisit America’s black past, and to observe the achievements of black Americans in the US and around the world. Blacks’ educational attainment should be one of many accomplishments we celebrate each year, but “much needs to be done to propel black educational attainment to new heights.” The U.S. entered a new era in September 2014, “when for the first time, kids of color constituted a majority of America’s K-12 public school students nationwide. That tilt will only deepen. The NCES projects that by 2024 minority kids will represent a majority of high school graduates as well.” https://www.newamerica.org/weekly/edition-155/continued-mis-education-black-americans/ Yet in Texas, the college readiness number for African American students is 8 percent. The number for Latino students is 12 percent. “The 8 percent and 12 percent numbers should be scary to all of us,” Commissioner Paredes stated. Students who are not college ready often are placed in dev ed. CTN’s model, especially with its corequisite model, provides an opportunity to close the inequality gap and has allowed 80% of CTN students to move into core classes after or within the first semester.

  • Ascender- Newsletter September 2018- Volume 7, No
    Ascender- Newsletter September 2018- Volume 7, No. 4 _______________________________________________________________________________________ CTN Recognizes Role in Connection to Future of the State September 15 was the start of Hispanic Heritage month. As we celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors come from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America, we must consider how vital future contributions by Hispanics will be to our state and nation. Texas' Hispanic population has increased from 9.7 million in 2010 to 11.1 million last year. Nationally, Texas is the state that has experienced the largest annual numeric increase of Hispanic residents since 2010. Yet, less than 20% of Hispanics receive some form of postsecondary credential. This is a serious problem in an economy that is generating more jobs for educated workers and fewer jobs for high school graduates. If the trend continues, Texas could see $15 billion per year less in state tax revenue. (https://www.texastribune.org/) Texas Commissioner of Higher Ed, Raymund Paredes said, “It is not too much to say that how well we educate Latino children will pretty much determine the fate of Texas in the 21st Century.” This is true for the nation as well, as HACU President Dr. Antonio Flores explains, “The Bureau of Labor Statistics points out that Hispanics now make up half of the increase in the American workforce. Latinos are the future of the American economy.” Our nation's economic and social success rests on the level of skills and knowledge attained by Hispanics. Education is indisputably the key. The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) represents more than 470 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education success in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Latin America, and Spain.
