That history is largely unknown (from @AP) #redsummerhttps://apnews.com/b8516a3d80ef40da97afd3a9e4f7d706 …

        Great stuff, @RussContreras . I analyzed the racial dynamics that devalue Mexican & Latino life & how some of us must work to end the suffocating structures of the black- white racial binary informing the erasure here:http://creativetimereports.org/2016/06/08/roberto-lovato-black-white-binary/ …

        Also glad to see you team up with my friend, @viaCedar. Important to tell the story of the death, erasure & resurrection of La Matanza by the families speaking, as well as by scholars like @MonicaMnzMtz, John Moran Gonzalez & others. Thx for doing your part.

        Our community needs to be more outspoken about this. As far as history is concerned, it’s like it never happened.
