The mission of this portal is to present visitors with historical records of the experiences of Mexican Americans since the birth of our people. Our culture thrives on either side of the border, yet not without tragedy. The Mexican American experience has been oppressive, tragic, and nonlinear, as even our identity has been stripped, redefined, and nullified. Historically, even speaking our language of Spanish was grounds for punishment. The Repatriation of the 1920s forced thousands of Americans of Mexican descent into a country that was never their home. Born on American soil did not provide protection or advantages. Today, that reality continues to plague us.
