Keywords: racialized space, gendered space, race, gender, geography, narrative, Austin Even though I knew there were… “di# erences” such as there were certain things we could not do, it was kind of like there were certain things you knew you could not and you just did not do it. Like you did not go to the water fountain that was for Whites and drink water there. If there was a store that you could not go into you did not go. Now what would hap- pen with reference to the shopping, African Americans could go into the stores, but you could not try on things. You could not try on a dress, shoes. Of course that eventually got be% er. (Overton 2009, April 6) Introduction1 In 2004 I began a project recording life history interviews with people who identify as Afri- can American, “in an e# ort to come to a deeper appreciation of the important events, values, and intellectual perspectives in the lives of African Americans, and to examine the impor- tance of race and racial identity in America”.2 Over the last twelve years my graduate stu- dents and I co-created life history interviews with 180 people in Texas and Tennessee, with birthdates ranging from 1920 to 1996.

    Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 1622 Filed 03/18/19 Page 1 of 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SAN ANTONIO DIVISION SHANNON PEREZ, et al., Plaintiffs, CIVIL ACTION NO. v. SA-11-CA-360-OLG-JES-XR [Lead case] STATE OF TEXAS, et al., Defendants. DEFENDANTS’ REPLY TO MALC AND TLRTF’S RESPONSES REGARDING REMEDY FOR STATE HOUSE DISTRICT HD90 On February 23, 2019, the Court ordered Plaintiffs “to respond to Defendants’ advisory concerning the use of Plan H328 and notify the Court of any alternative proposals” by March 11, 2019. ECF No. 1619. On that date, TLRTF and MALC independently submitted their own proposed plans. ECF Nos. 1620, 1621. TLRTF resubmitted Plan H407, a proposed remedial plan that seeks to return HD90 to its configuration under Plan H283 and remove the Como neighborhood from HD90. But the Court has already considered and rejected Plan H407. ECF No. 1600. The Shaw violations found by the Court “rest on changes made to HD90 after Como was moved back into HD90.” Perez v. Abbott, 267 F. Supp. 3d 750, 794 (W.D. Tex. 2017); see also id. at 792 (finding racial considerations behind “changes made between Plan H328 and Plan H342”). Plan H407 is therefore inconsistent with the Court’s Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 1622 Filed 03/18/19 Page 2 of 8 instruction that any remedy in HD90 “must respect the legislative choices made in 2013, except to remedy the constitutional violations.” ECF No.

  • Mexican American Resource Guide: Sources of Information Relating to the Mexican American Community in Austin and Travis County
    MEXICAN AMERICAN RESOURCE GUIDE: SOURCES OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE MEXICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY THE AUSTIN HISTORY CENTER, AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY Updated by Amanda Jasso Mexican American Community Archivist September 2017 Austin History Center- Mexican American Resource Guide – September 2017 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide customers with information about the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting, organizing, and preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers can learn from the community’s collective memory. The collections of the AHC contain valuable materials about Austin and Travis County’s Mexican American communities. The materials in the resource guide are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This guide is one of a series of updates to the original 1977 version compiled by Austin History staff. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals, support groups and Austin History Center staff. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the Find It: Austin Public Library On-Line Library Catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing individual items in the collection with entries under author, title, and subject. These tools lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be very difficult to find. It must be noted that there are still significant gaps remaining in our collection in regards to the Mexican American community.

    Realms of Remembered Violence: The Emergence of Mass Murder Memorials in the United States, 1986-2012 Jordan Hill Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Social, Political, Ethical & Cultural Thought Marian B. Mollin, Chair Francois Debrix Howard S. Gartner David Cline Kathleen W. Jones September 23, 2014 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Mass Murder Memorial, Memory, Ritual, Commemoration, Nationalism, Memorialization, Spatial History, U.S. History Copyright 2014, Jordan Hill Realms of Remembered Violence: The Emergence of Mass Murder Memorials in the United States, 1986-2012 Jordan Hill ABSTRACT This research explores the new tradition of creating mass murder memorials in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. Using written and oral history sources in combination with memorial designs, I explore the planning processes undertaken by five different communities: Virginia Tech, Columbine, University of Texas, Oklahoma City and Edmond, OK. I analyze what these case studies reveal about how changing cultural expectations and political needs transformed commemorative practices concerning violence in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. By exposing how the timely interventions of national figures increasingly shaped local commemorative aspirations, my research illuminates how the brief period of national unity in the immediate aftermath has been discursively and materially foregrounded as the heart of national public memory narratives of mass murder. I argue that at the turn of the twenty- first century the memory of victims of mass murders—assuming something akin to the role that fallen soldiers have played for the bulk of American history—are now viewed by a range of political, religious and cultural actors as a highly effective means of bolstering perceptions of local, organizational and national unity.
