  • Los Veteranos—Latinos in WWII

    Los Veteranos—Latinos in WWII

    Los Veteranos—Latinos in WWII Over 500,000 Latinos (including 350,000 Mexican Americans and 53,000 Puerto Ricans) served in WWII. Exact numbers are difficult because, with the exception of the 65th Infantry Regiment from Puerto Rico, Latinos were not segregated into separate units, as African Americans were. When war was declared on December 8, 1941, thousands of Latinos were among those that rushed to enlist. Latinos served with distinction throughout Europe, in the Pacific Theater, North Africa, the Aleutians and the Mediterranean. Among other honors earned, thirteen Medals of Honor were awarded to Latinos for service during WWII. In the Pacific Theater, the 158th Regimental Combat Team, of which a large percentage was Latino and Native American, fought in New Guinea and the Philippines. They so impressed General MacArthur that he called them “the greatest fighting combat team ever deployed in battle.” Latino soldiers were of particular aid in the defense of the Philippines. Their fluency in Spanish was invaluable when serving with Spanish speaking Filipinos. These same soldiers were part of the infamous “Bataan Death March.” On Saipan, Marine PFC Guy Gabaldon, a Mexican-American from East Los Angeles who had learned Japanese in his ethnically diverse neighborhood, captured 1,500 Japanese soldiers, earning him the nickname, the “Pied Piper of Saipan.” In the European Theater, Latino soldiers from the 36th Infantry Division from Texas were among the first soldiers to land on Italian soil and suffered heavy casualties crossing the Rapido River at Cassino. The 88th Infantry Division (with draftees from Southwestern states) was ranked in the top 10 for combat effectiveness.

    George I. Sanchez and the Civil Rights Movement: 1940-1960

    George I. Sanchez and the Civil Rights Movement: 1940-1960 Ricardo Romo* This article is a tribute to Dr. George I. Sanchez and examines the important contributions he made in establishing the American Council of Spanish-Speaking People (ACSSP) in 1951. The ACSSP funded dozens of civil rights cases in the Southwest during the early 1950's and repre- sented the first large-scale effort by Mexican Americans to establish a national civil rights organization. As such, ACSSP was a precursor of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and other organizations concerned with protecting the legal rights of Mexican Americans in the Southwest. The period covered here extends from 1940 to 1960, two crucial decades when Mexican Ameri- cans made a concerted effort to challenge segregation in public schools, discrimination in housing and employment, and the denial of equal ac- cess to public places such as theaters, restaurants, and barber shops. Although Mexican Americans are still confronted today by de facto seg- regation and job discrimination, it is of historical and legal interest that Mexican American legal victories, in areas such as school desegregation, predated by many years the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education and the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Sanchez' pioneering leadership and the activities of ACSSP merit exami- nation if we are to fully comprehend the historical struggle of the Mexi- can American civil rights movement. In a recent article, Karen O'Conner and Lee Epstein traced the ori- gins of MALDEF to the 1960's civil rights era.' The authors argued that "Chicanos early on recongized their inability to seek rights through traditional political avenues and thus sporadically resorted to litigation ..

In Ciudad Juarez, across the river from El Paso, 43% of the 800,000 residents are jobless. • The Mexican government has sought foreign loans to finance development, which has pushed its foreign debt to a staggering $28 billion -- nearly $500 for every man, woman and child in the country. • Agribusiness corporations like Del Monte and Anderson Clayton have come to domi- nate Mexican agriculture, fostering a system which produces luxury food items for the U.S. market rather than provide for Mexico's hungry. One half of all the vegetables consumed in the U.S. during winter months come from Mexico, while every day more than 1,000 Mexican children die of malnutrition. • Largely because of the spread of "modern" agriculture, the number of landless peasants rose from 1.5 million in 1950 to some 5 million today. There are more than 8 million migrant workers constantly on the move in search of temporary jobs, earning an average of $2.50-$3.00 per Jay in the Northwest region.
  • Standing Firm in Pursuit of the American Dream

    Standing Firm in Pursuit of the American Dream

    Standing Firm in Pursuit of the American Dream [Voice of Narrator] From 1910 to 1920 many Mexicans sought refuge from the Mexican revolution in America’s bordering states. Jose and Faustina Garcia arrived in Mercedes Texas in 1917. To counter the social, educational and political discrimination Mexican-Americans faced at the time, the Garcia’s tutored their children at home and each received a college degree. After the attack at Pearl Harbor, Hispanics enlisted en masse, including Jose’s son Hector, who served in the infantry, Corps of Engineers, and Medical Corps. By 1945, Hispanics had become the most decorated ethnic group in World War Two. [Voice of Guy Gabaldon] I went on my own. In the course of four hours, I had 800 prisoners. [Narrator] Gabaldon’s actions marked an unmatched feat for any single soldier in U.S military history yet he and other Hispanics returned home expected to resume their second- class citizenship. When Dr. Hector P. Garcia returned to Texas he had to treat Hispanic veterans in segregated hospital wards. For veterans that had been denied benefits Dr. Garcia treated them without charge. By 1948 he had had enough. On March 26th, Dr. Garcia took his first stand, founding the American GI Forum. [Voice of Dr. Hector P. Garcia] Basically it was organized to help the veterans with two problems. One problem being the fact that they were not giving us veterans hospitalization, so we got organized for that. Secondly, we got organized because the educational level of our people was so low we were not productive.

These materials offer researchers a lens into the often-difficult reintegration process that veterans undergo following their separation from the armed forces, as well as the overall effects of this process on their families and their communities. Researchers will find these materials useful for critical examinations of the social location of Latino servicemen and servicewomen within the context of a large metropolitan center and how this identity has evolved since 1942. Indeed, a collection of this caliber has wide application for studies on the overall condition of Latinos within the United States as well as on the lives and communities of California Latino veterans. Moreover, according to Kelly Lytle-Hernandez, professor of History at UCLA, this particular collection has much to offer scholars interested in studying local California politics, Latino veteran organizing, and gender dynamics in a traditionally male-centered context.
