Dear Faculty, Please encourage your students to attend one of the Rivera’s … Y NO SE LO TRAGÓ LA TIERRA film events (see attached). Rivera’s book and film highlight his struggles as a farmworker, but also his triumph of overcoming the barriers he faced in his life; the novel is considered “one of groundbreaking works of emerging Chicana/o literature…”. We are highlighting Tomás Rivera’s work at our Courageous Conversation, today, this Thursday, October 10, 2019 at 5pm; UTSA Downtown Buena Vista Theatre. Dr. Rivera believed that social mobility could be achieved through education, which I firmly believe reflects our work in the college. We appreciate you also encouraging students to attend our event! see link http://education.utsa.edu/events/detail/courageous_conversations_part_1_t...
