This dissertation explores the images in four areas (nonviolence, religion, patriotism or ethnic pride, and gender) that both men created to promote and sustain their movements, and explains how and why Chavez often copied or slightly altered King’s tactics for the California farm labor union. It is because of these images that many in the public came to see Chavez as King’s Mexican heir. vii 1. INTRODUCTION In March of 1965, Rabbi Jacob Pressman flew from Burbank, California, to Montgomery, Alabama, to participate in the last day of the March from Selma. With him were 15 other rabbis and some Christian clergymen. At the Alabama airport, they met with other clergy and were briefed. Pressman and three others decided to find the local synagogue and stash their luggage there. From the synagogue, they continued to a gathering point at a hospital and then marched to the capital. After the march, they were supposed to board busses to the airport. Unfortunately, they could not find the meeting point for the busses. National Guardsmen and policemen would or could not help by giving them directions. They began to hear rumors that the federalized National Guard would be de-federalized in ten minutes and turn into the enemy. Panicking, they hired an African American taxi driver to take them back to the synagogue for their luggage and then hurried on to the airport. One of the party ended up in a cab which was forced into oncoming traffic and narrowly avoided a collision. At the airport, the rabbis boarded a plane back to California, escaping the South. One of Pressman’s fellow rabbis later commented to him that “You know, it is easier to read history than to be mixed up in the making of it.”1 The rabbi’s words were more significant than even he meant them to be. For he and the hundreds of other clergy who appeared in Alabama that day were indeed part of 1 Jacob Pressman, March on Montgomery, 27 March 1965, MLK, Box 21, Folder 12. 1 the making of history. It was their presence on the line that helped give Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement legitimacy. This use of clergy was merely one of the ways that King and the organization under his direction, created images of the movement which were to serve in its promotion to both African Americans and the general public. They were literally making history. King was not alone in using such images. Only months after the march from Selma to Montgomery, a Mexican American hero would begin to rise to prominence. This man, Cesar Chavez, would find it expedient to create and use for the farm labor movement many of the same kinds of images and tactics that King had for the civil rights movement. Both men would create images of their movements as nonviolent, religiously oriented, and as patriotic or ethnic causes. Both men would also shape images of gender in their movement in order to promote and sustain the cause.

    Revolution and Reconciliation: The Student Interracial Ministry, Liberal Protestantism, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1960-1970 David P. Cline A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of doctor of philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Advisor: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Reader: W. Fitzhugh Brundage Reader: William H. Chafe Reader: Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp Reader: Heather A. Williams © 2010 David P. Cline ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID P. CLINE: Revolution and Reconciliation: The Student Interracial Ministry, Liberal Protestantism, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1960-1970 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) The Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) was a seminary-based, nationally influential Protestant civil rights organization based in the Social Gospel and Student Christian Movement traditions. This dissertation uses SIM’s history to explore the role of liberal Protestants in the popular revolutions of the 1960s. Entirely student-led and always ecumenical in scope, SIM began in 1960 with the tactic of placing black assistant pastors in white churches and whites in black churches with the goal of achieving racial reconciliation. In its later years, before it disbanded in mid-1968, SIM moved away from church structures, engaging directly in political and economic movements, inner-city ministry and development projects, and college and seminary teaching. In each of these areas, SIM participants attempted to live out German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's exhortation to “bring the church into the world.” Revolution and Reconciliation demonstrates that the civil rights movement, in both its “classic” phase from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s and its longer phase stretching over most of the twentieth century, was imbued with religious faith and its expression.

    'Re-Borderisation' in the South-Western Novels of Ana Castillo and Cormac Mccarthy

    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, nº 12 (2007), pp. 21-37 ‘RE-BORDERISATION’ IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN NOVELS OF ANA CASTILLO AND CORMAC MCCARTHY. PETER CARR Swansea University, UK Two novels of the US/Mexican borderlands published in the early 1990s achieved notable mainstream success and critical acclaim –So Far From God by Ana Castillo (first published in 1993) and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy (first published 1992). Here were two ostensibly very different South-Western novels which nevertheless managed to achieve a singular effect: in each case it was this novel that thrust an established, but limited-appeal, writer out of the gloom of academic readership and into the glare of mainstream literary celebrity. These texts, then, are crossover novels in two senses. They are of the margins in the sense that as novels of the borderlands they each deal with the interface of Mexican and Anglo cultures but they are also of the centre in that their multicultural narratives have been embraced by the mainstream. This paper argues two main points. The first is that the mainstream consumer-appeal of these novels –their successful commodification of multicultural images– actually relies upon the subtle repetition of myths of the borderlands in ways that that reinforce ethnic and cultural stereotypes. The second argument is that this process in the novels is part of a general mainstream ‘reborderization’ in the US in the early-to mid-1990s: a reactionary response to the perceived erosion of traditional concepts of national identity in an era dominated by post-modern trans- boundary forces exemplified by initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.

    Through The Eyes of A Bracero A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts by Karina Flores June, 2010 © 2010 Karina Flores I. INTRODUCTION “Dicen por allí” or the word around town was that “el Norte” was in search of men to harvest the fertile lands of California. Jose Carmen Flores did not fully understand what it meant to travel to the United States as a contracted labor worker. The few things he did know was that “prometieron un sueldo reasonable” or a reasonable salary was promised and he would be away from home for no more than 3 to 4 months at a time. He registered as a bracero and quickly left behind his young wife and his not yet born first baby, Eufemio. He made the journey to “el Norte” in the company of other wishful men who believed that their prayers to “la Virgen Maria” were being answered. Finally reaching “el Norte” brought tears to his eyes, “al fin llegue al pais de la esperanza,” meaning he arrived to the hopeful country. After migrating for several years between “el Norte” and Mexico, Jose Carmen’s hopes and dreams were shattered. “El sueldo reasonable” no longer held up to be true, and he was not paid for several of the jobs he conducted day in and day out. Braceros were like-minded in that they brought with them a limited understanding as well as unreliable images of life in the United States.

    Latino Public Broadcasting | VOCES Season 5 Outreach Guide for Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno Thank you for taking the extra step to encourage viewers of Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno to think critically about the film and its themes, and to share their thoughts with others in their community. According to U.S. Census projections, it is anticipated that the U.S. Latino population will grow by 167% between 2010 and 2050. As Latino Americans expand their impact economically, culturally and politically, they will contribute more and more to our ongoing national conversations about identity and empowerment. As the demographic landscape continues to shift, public media can play a significant role in building bridges of understanding by presenting audiences with trustworthy content and neutral spaces for meaningful dialogue. Community conversations hold tremendous potential to enrich our understanding of our unique and varied stories, as well as our shared values, forging a future as a nation whose strength lies in its diversity. This outreach guide offers themes to inspire conversation, as well as tips for planning events, suggestions for community partners and speakers, social media strategies and discussion questions, supplemental readings and free resources to accompany the film. Film Summary: Set in 1950s and 60s California, Adios Amor recaptures the forgotten yet epic struggle of Maria Moreno, a determined migrant mother who became an early outspoken leader in the movement for farmworker rights years before Dolores
