Refusing to Forget
A collaborative, multi-disciplinary public history project that critically examines the deadly state violence targeting Texas Mexicans in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands between 1910 and 1920. Through the staging of public exhibits, the placement of historical markers, and the fostering of community dialogue, this project highlights the public necessity of understanding how past events continue to shape present social relationships between Mexican American communities and state institutions, especially law enforcement. https://refusingtoforget.org/
