Both towns, situtted in a region known for its year-round vegetable economy, shAred such demographic characteristics as population size, ethnic composition, and Anglo dominance of the economy. Among the 146 persons interviewed were past and present school board members, persons who had unsuccessfully competed for school Boardpositions, administrators, teachers, city and county officialsand Raza Unida Party members. Observations of such events as school board meetings, city council meetings, football games and practices, church services, and confrontations between the Better Government League, local Ciudadanos, Crystal City Anglos, and the Crystal City Raza Unida Party were conducted. Some findings were:(1) historically Anglos had dominated the Mexican American socially and culturally by controlling the agricultural economy;(2) both ethnic sectors perceived schools as a basic local energy source to be used as power in controlling the local physical and social environment; and (3) ethnic conflict resulted in a decrease of ',latitude" for subordinates' actions within the school domain.

  • Buddy Holly's Beloved 1958 Ariel Cyclone Motorcycle to Be Sold At
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] Buddy Holly’s Beloved 1958 Ariel Cyclone Motorcycle to Be Sold at Waylon Jennings Auction Remembering Waylon: An Unprecedented Auction Focusing on the Life Of Legendary Outlaw Country Musician Waylon Jennings NEW YORK (August 20, 2014) – Guernsey’s Auction House will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings on October 5 at the majestic Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix with an auction of more than 2,000 of the country legend’s personal belongings. The centerpiece of the spectacular collection is the limited edition 1958 Ariel Cyclone motorcycle that originally belonged to Jennings’ best friend and mentor Buddy Holly, and that was given to Jennings in 1979 after Holly’s death. The Ariel is beautifully preserved with just over 4,000 original miles, and has not been ridden in over twenty years, serving as a symbol of a pivotal time in American music history. A stunning auction catalogue showcases the many fabulous items included in the collection—including the centerpiece Ariel Cyclone—complete with detailed photographs and descriptions of each item. Auction catalogues will be available in late August; to pre-order a catalogue ($30 plus shipping), visit www.guernseys.com. Behind Holly’s Purchase On May 13th, 1958, three young and newly successful musicians – Buddy Holly, Joe Maudlin, and Jerry Allison – found their way to Ray Miller's Motorcycle Shop in Dallas, Texas. They had conceived a style of music redefining America's tastes, combining Country, Pop, Rockabilly, and Rhythm and Blues into a new sound all its own.

  • Lupe Anguiano Message to La Raza Unida Party Reunion 40Th Anniversary of Our 1972 Convention in El Paso, Texas
    Lupe Anguiano Message to La Raza Unida Party Reunion 40th Anniversary of our 1972 Convention in El Paso, Texas August 30, 2012 Saludo a todos y un gran abrazo! I treasure, with respect and gratitude, memories of my participation, helping to build La Raza Unida Party (RUP) in the United States. Like all of you, working for political control of our lives and freedom for our people and communities is a responsibility that only we, as Chicanos/as, can accomplish. The September 1st to 4th 1972 - Raza Unida Party Convention in El Paso was, in my view a historical landmark, resulting in our winning 5% of the Texas vote. I vividly remember delivering the votes that elected Jose Angel Gutierrez, Chairman of our Raza Unida Party. The vote almost cost my life, but I know I would do it again; primarily, because Jose Angel showed tangible leadership results; the political experience of building a City - governed by Chicanos/as for the well-being of all people living in Crystal City, Texas. For me, the goal and ideals of La Raza Unida Party, were and continue to be, about building Cities throughout the United States - Modeled after Crystal City, Texas. I have not tired of bringing this message to places where I live and work; in California, my home State; Washington DC; New York City; Silver Springs, Maryland; Mexico City; and San Antonio, Texas, where I lived for 18 years. I was glad to share some of my Raza Unida doings and happenings, in an interview with Miguel Juarez. I also shared - action items that have been lost or missed in writings about my involvement in the Chicano/a liberation movement.

  • The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly's Meteoric Career
    Romig: "Not Fade Away" “Not Fade Away”: The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly’s Meteoric Career Kevin Romig 8 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2011 1 Buddy Holly and radio host, Red Robinson, October 1957. Courtesy Red Robinson. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 11 [2011], Iss. 1, Art. 3 The career of native Texan Buddy Holly is often described as “meteoric.” Within 18 months of his frst hit,“That’ll Be the Day,” which charted on the Billboard Top 40 list in 1957, Holly released seven other songs that made the Billboard Top 40.1 He and his band toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain, while many contemporaries, such as Elvis Presley, did not tour much, if at all, outside of the 9 United States. Holly quickly established himself as a rock and roll pioneer before his untimely death in an airplane crash on February 3, 1959, while on tour in the American Midwest.2 Holly was only 22 years old when he perished on the ill-fated fight along with fellow pop stars Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.3 Holly, his band members, and his manager/recording engineer, Norman Petty, had worked tirelessly during the mid- to late 1950s writing and recording new material. Holly’s innovative and driven approach to producing catchy tunes placed him frmly within the upper echelon of rock and roll artists at a time when the market was crowded with aspiring musicians. Te bespectacled and somewhat awkward-looking Holly was perhaps an unlikely candidate to become a teen idol, especially considering that he was following in the footsteps of such stars as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
