西班牙传统月
每年, Americans observe National 西班牙传统月 by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, 墨西哥, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15.
The starting day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries: Costa Rica, 萨尔瓦多, 危地马拉, 洪都拉斯和尼加拉瓜. 除了, 墨西哥 and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, 分别.

There once was a village called Porvenir
Where fifteen men stood by each other in fear.
The Texas Rangers all pointed their guns
There was no place to hide and nowhere to run.

— “Village Called Porvenir,” music and lyrics by Brandi Tobar and Arlinda Valencia

Unmasking the Texas Ranger Mythos:
Kirby Warnock的《澳门新葡京博彩》
（电影放映）
sponsored by NVC Mexican American Studies
Wednesday, October 9 - 12:30 PM-2:00 PM
Location: Manzanillo Hall (MZH) Innovation Center
剧情简介:
In 1915 a group of Mexican banditos raided the McAllen Ranch, one of the largest in the area. The next day a group of Texas Rangers supposedly arrived and eliminated the perpetrators. However, the real story is not as tidy as it has been portrayed. 罗兰·沃尔诺克, a 19-year-old cowboy working on the Guadalupe Ranch near present-day Edinburg, witnessed two of these killings when he saw Texas Rangers from Company D shoot two unarmed men in the back and leave their bodies by the side of the road. The effects of these killings by the Rangers are being felt in south Texas some 80 years later.
