Dear colleagues, I cordially invite you to this week's National Chicano Student Walkouts Conference which will start on Wednesday (with a reception at the UTSA downtown campus), followed by two full days of scholarly, student, and community presentations on Thursday and Friday, at OLLU and UTSA. This conference focuses on the history and advancement of education and economic opportunities for La Raza. It brings together faculty, academic researchers, community leaders and students to reflect, analyze and assess the impact that the protests had on improvement of educational and economic opportunities for MexicanAmericans. We will collect and archive oral histories, publish a set of conference papers and initiative a scholarship program designed to inspire youth to pursue post-secondary education s scholars of the Chicano Movement. I encourage you to invite your undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students as this is a historic gathering that sheds light on the legacy of this activism in research, policy, and educational practice in San Antonio and beyond. Also, please feel free to invite fellow colleagues, family and friends to attend. Hope to see you there, and thank you!
