This image showing dental work on a mummy from ancient Egypt is evidence of ancient dentistry. Archaeologists believe this mummy was from around 200 BCE.

We just saw an infomercial on the news about Dolores Huerta and how she's a prideful part of our Chicano history. The ad went on to talk about the United Farm-Worker union she set up with other Chicanos like Chavez. My parents have had various jobs since they took the dangerous journey into the U.S. But they've always stayed partly or full-time employed as farm-workers. An aunt of mine had lived in Washington State for a few years, and I can still remember when she and her family came to visit us in the Deep South. We were living in South Carolina at the time and she showed up saying, "You have no rights here as laborers, it's time we take you to the union side of the country!" And off we went. This was the first time I'd ever seen snow, (I was four) but I'll never forget what all my aunt's family kept saying: "You're gonna love Washington State." One of the first memories of Washington State (other than the really large amounts of snow) was going to KDNA - a radio station that proudly and appropriately donned the title of being "The voice of the farm-worker." We'd visit the radio station weekly to be trained on pesticides, how to report injuries without the fear of my parents being deported, and they always gave us hot chocolate, pan dulce, food, and warm clothing. In the fields, my parents would bring a portable radio (as did many others) and we'd blast Radio KDNA - since they would also give farm-workers a legit and verified head's up on La Migra raiding and terrorizing certain farms. For the longest time, I thought KDNA was the same thing as the UFW. It isn't until right now that I'm reading historical accounts on the immense history that the makers of KDNA even did for Chicanos, Mexicanos, and all farm-workers throughout the country! After becoming the first all-Spanish speaking radio station in the history of Washington State, word of their groundbreaking work caught the ear of the UFW. Cesar Chavez visited them and the rest is history! "According to KDNA station manager Ricardo García, Chávez not only publicly applauded the small Yakima station but his visit inspired the UFW to craft their own community-based radio stations along California's agricultural heartlands." I'm so proud to have learned about worker's rights as a small child, experiencing my first strike and labor victories with my parents and family, but most of all realizing that I was very lucky to be born into a family of luchadores. /rant

2 de octubre no se olvida

El 2 de octubre de 1968 ocurrió una matanza de estudiantes en México. El gobierno señalaba que los estudiantes querían derrocar al gobierno, instaurar un régimen “comunista” como parte de un “Plan Subversivo de Proyección Internacional”.

Florencio López Osuna fue uno de los estudiantes que fue severamente golpeado por los militares en Tlatelolco. Uno de los oficiales le dijo a otro: “Llévatelo y a la primera pendejada, te lo chingas”, señaló en su declaración.

Estudiantes universitarios fueron obligados a desnudarse frente a los soldados. La autoridad señaló que era parte del protocolo de seguridad, sin embargo, los estudiantes señalaron que hubo agresión física.

Algunos estudiantes fueron detenidos y desaparecidos, por lo que sus compañeros se sumaron a una serie de manifestaciones, donde atacaban a las autoridades con piedras, ladrillos y fuego.

Algunos testimonios relatan que hubo presencia de civiles que portaban un guante blanco y comenzaron a disparar contra la multitud al ver una luz de bengala. (chequen el militar sonriendo a la izquierda)

Los militares vigilaban a los estudiantes desde días anteriores, pero ese día comenzaron a disparar y agredir a los jóvenes tras los disparos hechos por los civiles con el guante blanco, según testimonios sobrevivientes.

Estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, el Instituto Politécnico Nacional, El Colegio de México, la Escuela de Agricultura de Chapingo, la Universidad Iberoamericana, la Universidad La Salle, la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo y la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla se sumaron a la lucha.

Estos estudiantes fueron sometidos en la Plaza de las Tres Culturas, para después ser llevados a los edificios habitacionales de Tlatelolco.

LA sheriffs were called to apprehend a suspect in a robbery. But now the sheriffs say Vargas may have been a mistaken suspect.” Read the rest of the article here:  http://www.fightbacknews.org/2018/9/9/family-and-community-protests-east-la-sheriff-s-station-demanding-justice-anthony-vargas

Frida Kahlo As You’ve (Probably) Never Seen Her Before

Though she was often photographed as an adult, Frida Kahlo has less photographs from her childhood. That’s what makes the photos in this image gallery so special. Taken by her father, and showing Kahlo as young as two, they reveal a different side of the famous Mexican artist.
