Thomas Fallon, who claimed the city for the United States during a 19th century war with Mexico. Mayor Tom McEnery said Wednesday he plans to schedule a formal discussion about the project with Javier H. Salazar, director of the Aztlan Academy of Ethnic Heritage, who has denounced the city's plan to erect a statue to Fallon as an insult to Mexican-Americans. "It's a militaristic celebration of war," Salazar said. "Would the city erect a monument to celebrate the defeat of the Japanese in the second world war?" Fallon, an early mayor whose home on West St. John Street will be converted into a historical museum, has been cast in bronze for a statue to be placed on a traffic island just north of Plaza Park. According to a city history, Fallon raised the Stars and Stripes on July 14, 1846, after angry natives had cut it down during the Mexican-American War. ''Anybody who's interested in the history of San Jose and in remembering the people who built this valley is a friend of mine," McEnery said. "But the flag was raised on Market Street. That is a historical fact." Salazar, who already has met with McEnery to discuss the statue, argues that the city should be celebrating its ethnic diversity instead of a military victory over early settlers. ''The Mexicans and the Hispanics in San Jose pulled down the flag two or three times," Salazar said. "When the cavalry came with arms, the flag remained. There's no need to celebrate that." Felix Alvarez, executive director of El Teatro De Los Pobres, a Hispanic theater group, said he would not be surprised if the Fallon statue is torn down by Mexican- Americans angered by what the monument represents. ''Thomas Fallon in military garb astride a horse, planting the American flag as a military victory over the Mexican township of San Jose is offensive," said Alvarez, who criticized McEnery for not soliciting more public comment before pushing for the statute. "When Mr. Fallon arrived in San Jose, the Mexican community welcomed him and helped him and he married into the Mexican family. That isn't portrayed." McEnery, who has written a fictionalized account of Fallon's exploits, said Fallon is worthy of a perch on Market Street because he "represents the assimilation of this valley." The mayor said Fallon never killed or plundered. "He was my kind of soldier," McEnery said. Esther Medina, executive director of the Mexican American Community Services Agency, said Fallon is a legitimate part of San Jose's history. "Our biggest concern is that the history of the Mexican influence here has not been properly recorded or been given anywhere near equal importance," she said. "It hasn't even been acknowledged." McEnery pledged to do that with future public art projects, including gateway sculptures planned for major thoroughfares leading to the downtown. While Salazar and others say Fallon should not be placed in Plaza Park and should be recast as a less militaristic character, it may be too late. Nairobi-born artist Robert Glen's creation of Fallon and a compatriot is scheduled to be delivered to the project site within weeks. Kathy Chavez Napoli, who called herself a spokeswoman for a coalition of community and cultural groups founded after the flap over McEnery's abandoned plan to take over the Spanish- language Studio Theatre, said there is widespread disapproval of the Fallon statue. It will be discussed, she said, during a 6:30 meeting tonight at Mother Olson's Inn, 72 North Fifth St. ''A large segment of the community opposes this," Napoli said. "We just keep on being told that the city knows best for us, as if we're children. We are not children. We can recognize what's important. We should have some input." https://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&p_docid=0EB731EA9E9FE065&p_docnum=63&s_dlid=DL0121040822393427344&s_… 1/2 4/8/2021 Search the San Jose Mercury News Archive Back to your search results | Return to the search page | Printer Friendly version https://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&p_docid=0EB731EA9E9FE065&p_docnum=63&s_dlid=DL0121040822393427344&s_… 2/2 4/8/2021 Search the San Jose Mercury News Archive Archive Search Result FALLON STATUE OPPOSED MAYOR, HISPANICS AT ODDS AGAIN DATE: March 22, 1990 THOMAS FARRAGHER, Mercury News Staff Writer PUBLICATION: San Jose Mercury News (CA) EDITION: Morning Final SECTION: Local Page: 1B Leaders of some city Hispanic groups are condemning as biased San Jose's $820,000 tribute to Capt.

The mustachioed San Jose businessman Charles J. Martin was both the 20th and the 27th mayor of San Jose. He served one term (1882-1884), and a few years later he came back for two more (1898-1902). Campaigning for reelection in 1900, Mayor Martin gave out “cigars for the men” and “candies for the ladies.” The San Francisco Call reported that “the campaign has been a feast for factory and shop girls.” Too bad women couldn’t vote in California for another 11 years! 2 Images on file at the Smith-Layton Archive, Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History July 2016 Sourisseau [90] McKinley Speaks.

  • Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter the Spanish Legend, That
    The Spanish in Hawaii: Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter The Spanish legend, that somehow Spain anticipated all other Europeans in its discovery and presence in most every part of the New World, extends even to the Pacific Ocean area. Spain's early activity in Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California reinforces the idea that Spain was also the early explorer of the Pacific Islands. The vast Pacific, from its European discovery in Panama by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, until almost the end of the 18th Century, was part of the Spanish overseas empire. Generous Papal recognition of Spain's early discoveries and an attempt to avert an open conflict between Spain and Portugal resulted in a division of the non-Christian world between those Iberian powers. Though north European nations were not in accord and the King of France even suggested that he would like to see the clause in Adam's will giving the Pope such sweeping jurisdiction, Spain was convinced of its exclusive sovereignty over the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Philippine Islands. Spain strengthened both the Papal decree and the treaty signed with Portugal at Tordasillas by observing the niceties of international law. In 1513, Nunez de Balboa waded into the Pacific, banner in hand, and in a single grandiose act of sovereignty claimed the ocean and all of its islands for Spain. It was a majestic moment in time—nearly one third of the world was staked out for exclusive Spanish control by this single imperial act. And Spain was able to parlay this act of sovereignty into the creation of a huge Spanish lake of hundreds of thousands of square miles, a body of water in which no other European nation could sail in peaceful commerce.

    THESIS DOING IT ALONE: DO VIDEO JOURNALISTS AFFECT THE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY OF TELEVISION NEWS? Submitted by Dan Messineo Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2015 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Joe Champ Greg Luft Kathleen Kelly Copyright by Dan Messineo 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DOING IT ALONE: DO VIDEO JOURNALISTS AFFECT THE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY OF TELEVISION NEWS? The recent financial pressures on local TV news stations have forced many owners and managers to cover the day’s events with fewer employees. Many station owners have turned to video journalists to cut newsroom costs. The video journalist, also called “backpack journalist,” does it all. These intrepid reporters conduct interviews; write scripts, shoot and edit their video. With so many stations turning to video journalism, this research explores how and to what extent video journalists affect the quality and credibility of TV news. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.................................................................................................................................... ii THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 30 MINUTES ................................................................... 1 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 15 MINUTES ................................................................... 3 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS ...............................................................................................

  • Andy Rooney Risked His Life to Report Some Of
    Andy Rooney risked his life to report some of the most dramatic events of World War II, but he only became famous decades later for joking about the quirks of everyday life. Andrew Aitken Rooney was born in Albany on January 14, 1919. While he attended the Albany Academy Andy worked as a newspaper copy boy, delivering stories from reporters’ typewriters to the editors’ desks. He dreamed of being a football star when he enrolled at Colgate University. Once he recognized his limits as an athlete, Rooney grew more interested in creative writing and journalism. His career plans were interrupted when he was drafted into the military in May 1941. After basic training in Fort Bragg, North Photo courtesy of the Times Union, Carolina, Rooney was assigned to the 17th Field Albany, NY Artillery Regiment. When the U.S. entered World War II, the 17th was stationed in Great Britain. Rooney wrote a weekly newsletter for the regiment before he was transferred to the main military newspaper, Stars and Stripes. He became part of the “Writing 69th,” a group of war correspondents who ew on Air Force bombing missions over Germany. Some of his colleagues died with their crews. He co-authored Air Gunner, an account of these dangerous missions, in 1944. Later, Rooney was one of the rst U.S. war correspondents to see evidence of the Holocaust in captured Nazi concentration camps. After the war ended, Rooney didn’t become a full-time journalist. He joined the CBS radio and television network in 1949 as a writer for Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, an entertainment program.

Speaking at an SJSU Balkans Forum presented Wednesday by Phi Alpha Theta, a national history honor society, Feig said, "People say, 'If we had only known the conditions in the Holocaust, the world would not have allowed it.'" "I'm coming to the conclusion that if we'd had televi- sion cameras in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, reporters would still say we should not interfere for fear of making it worse," she said. Feig was one of four speakers who lectured on history and current events in the Balkans at the forum sponsored by the Beta lambda chapter of the society. After an introduction by Phi Alpha Theta President Lori Heathorn, SJSU history Professor David Kier opened the forum by introducing Feig of Foothill College, Professor Constantine Danopoulos of SJSU's political sci- ence department and Professor Igor Zevelev of Moscow's Institute of World Economy and International Relations, who is a visiting professor in political science at SJSU.

  • Sport, Representation and Culture in the Modern World, 1920-2020
    8. Representation Steven A. Riess Cultural historians study the change of human civilization over time. They focus on people’s beliefs, rituals, ideas, identity, social norms, institutions, and materials, with particular attention to the meanings of that culture’s elements (Hutton 1981). Cultural historians before World War II focused on high culture, but thereafter, because of the influence of cultural anthropology, they began to study popular culture, that include every day experiences and artifacts that express mass values and attitudes. Since the late 1960s, scholars have studied sport’s interaction with high and low culture, and also sport as an independent element of culture with s symbolic acts, representation, and struggle over meaning of sport’s myths and realities. American cultural historians have relied heavily on anthropologist Clifford Geertz’s concept of “thick description,” a process of studying and contextualizing human behavior. This was modeled by his analysis of the cultural significance of Balinese cock fighting which he called “deep play, ” that illuminated the network of social relationships in that traditional society (Geertz 1973). This process encouraged historians to study the sporting world and individual sports as cultural texts. A new trend that soon followed was an emphasis on memory as a cultural historical category, followed by the “linguistic turn” in the 1980s that emphasized the importance of language, a perspective in far greater vogue in Europe than the US. Cultural scholars outside North America are far more reliant on theory, particularly the polyschematic analyses of Michel Foucault, along with advocates of the visual and audio turns. Culturally minded sport historians employ cultural analysis as a window through which to understand the broader society.
