As part of the Tuesday Night Lecture series, Dr. Magdalena L. Barrera, Associate Professor of Mexican American Studies at San Jose State University, will present the "Study of the Spanish-Speaking People of Texas" series of more than 900 photographs shot by Russell Lee in 1949. The images depict moments in the everyday lives of people in Mexican-American communities across the state of Texas. Dr. Barrera will discuss the social, historical, and cultural context in which these photographs were taken and how they relate to a sense of contemporary Mexican-American identity. Free and open to the public.
This will take place on September 4, from 5-6pm, in the SJSU Art Building, Room #133!
