  • Separate Interests to National Agendas Hispanic-American Members of Congress in the Civil Rights Era, 1945–1977
    Separate Interests to National Agendas hispanic-american members of congress in the civil rights era, 1945–1977 In June 1952 two long-running but often dissimilar paths of Hispanic-American congressional history converged, if only for a moment. At issue was the transformation of Puerto Rico from a colonial territory to a U.S. commonwealth. Under Puerto Rico’s proposed constitution, the island’s new government, the Estado Libre Asociado (Free Associated State or ELA), would be linked to the U.S. mainland by matters involving foreign affairs, but its authority to govern locally would be enhanced. Congress initially approved the concept, but quickly split over a constitutional human rights provision that had wide support among the Puerto Rican people. In the U.S. Senate, one faction sought to establish Congress’s ability to approve or reject amendments to the island’s constitution, essentially stripping Puerto Ricans of sovereignty.1 One such advocate bluntly argued that Congress essentially had the option to “give them a constitution or not give it to them.” Dennis Chavez of New Mexico, on the other hand—often that chamber’s lone proponent for boosting Hispanic civil rights—pushed back: “The Puerto Ricans did not ask us to take [their political rights]; we took them,” he said. In areas of the world where the U.S. was then working to contain the spread of communism, including in the Caribbean Basin, Chavez noted that America’s efforts would be aided by treating Puerto Ricans with more equanimity.2 Chavez’s intervention in the debate foreshadowed an important trend in this era—the increasing cooperation among advocates for Hispanic issues on a national scale.

ELLIS THERE are several generalities that can be made about the par­ ticipation of minority groups in New Mexico politics. One is that the election or appointment of citizens with Hispanic surnames to positions in territorial and state government has not always equaled their percentage of the population. A second is that from the time of the American conquest in 1846 to the present, Hispanic Americans have been more active in New Mexico pol­ itics than they have in surrounding states such as Texas, Colorado, and Arizona. A third is that in certain areas Hispanic Americans have dominated local and county government, while in other areas they have been largely excluded from political office. Fi­ nally, American Indians are in a far different category and have not been a major factor in New Mexico politics.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

After sketching the history of the Palace, this work discusses the influence of local, regional, and national groups and politicians, and examines the role of the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee. Special attention is paid to previously unseen images and artwork created by New Mexican artists and used to design the final stamp.

Sawyer Jr. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2005. ix + 170 pp. Halftones, bibliography, index. $14-95 paper, ISBN 0-8263-3640-X.) This book details the personal journey ofEliseo "Cheo" Torres, a profes­ sor and vice president ofstudent affairs at the University ofNew Mexico, to understand the healing practices of Mexican and Mexican American cul­ tures, and to document the lives of important Mexican healers such as El Nino Fidencio, don Pedrito Jaramillo, Chenchito Alvarado, and Teresita Urrea. Torres also documents the work oflocal healers such as his mother and father, dona Marfa, the neighborhood curandera, and dona Juana, a partera (midwife). Curanderismo is a traditional art ofhealing that predates doctors trained in western medicine, and it flourishes in areas where doc­ tors are scarce and where people cannot afford medical treatment. Torres wants to understand not only the history ofcuranderismo, butalso to articu­ late the cures utilized, their social and cultural implications, and the spiri­ tual dimension involved in healing.
