The CHC strongly believes that greater diversity and representation must Rep. Lou Correa (CA-46) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) extend to the installations and facilities that our servicemembers call home. The CHC's advocacy Rep. Jim Costa (CA-16) is focused in particular on ensuring that Ft.

  • 1 U.S. Latino Patriots: from the American Revolution to Afghanistan
    U.S. Latino Patriots: From the American Revolution to Afghanistan, An Overview By Refugio I. Rochin and Lionel Fernandez Background The mission of the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives is to disseminate and advance understanding and knowledge of the contributions of Latinas and Latinos to the culture, society, history, arts, and sciences of the United States (U.S.). Since its inaugural opening on August 10, 1998, the Center has taken an active role in developing knowledge of the accomplishments of Latinas/os, “Latino Patriots” and their role in U.S. military history. Under the direction of Refugio I. Rochin, research has been conducted, data collected, and text prepared at the Smithsonian Institution by Lionel Fernandez, a volunteer at the Center for Latino Initiatives. Jose Alonzo Oliveros, a former fellow at the Center under the auspices of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (FY 2000), initially prepared the groundwork for this project. This research has explored the feasibility of developing an exhibition at the Smithsonian to document the contributions of Hispanic Americans in military conflicts since the American Revolution where the U.S. has played an active role. This history dates back to the colonial era with the onset of the American Revolution and spans more than 200 years to include contemporary military conflicts. The Smithsonian’s collections include more than 140 million objects and archival materials. These include military memorabilia of U.S. war periods. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is the primary repository of materials that involve the participation of Latinas/os in U.S. military engagements.

  • Civil War Blockade Run Mail, 1861-65
    Civil War Blockade Run Mail, 1861­65 Background: President Lincoln proclaimed the blockade of the southern coasts on April 19, 1861. Stretching from Virginia to Texas, the blockaded area encompassed over 3,500 miles of coastline and nearly 200 harbors and river openings, so the USA concentrated on the thirteen CSA deep‐water ports that could serve as effective transit points for supplies and mail. By early 1862, six of these ports had been captured by the USA before they could commence blockade running. By mid‐1862, New Orleans was also captured and Savannah was effectively closed. The remaining five ports were active in blockade running until they were captured late in the war, although Federal naval actions temporarily stopped blockade running at Charleston and Galveston. The blockade ended with the fall of Galveston on June 2, 1865. Geography: The map below shows the seven CSA ports active in blockade running for all or a part of the war. Also shown are the eleven routes to the five foreign ports (Halifax, Bermuda, Nassau, Havana and Matamoros) that acted as the staging points for supplies and mail. The Mails: Fewer than 400 of the letters carried by blockade runners are known today. Other than at New Orleans and Mobile, the blockade mail service was slow to develop since less hazardous through‐the‐lines mail routes were available until early 1862. Nearly all of the surviving letters were carried in the May 1862 to March 1865 period. An incoming letter to the CSA was typically sent inside of another envelope to one of the foreign staging ports for transfer to a blockade runner, and then posted in the CSA arrival port, where inland postage and a two cents ship fee were assessed.
