Description
-
This 1968 edition of Northern Arizona University’s student-run newspaper, The Lumberjack, features an article about racism and racial identity amongst Mexican-Americans. The Lumberjack interviewed Hispanic faculty members and students to get perspective on their experiences as Mexican-Americans in the late 1960s. A local teacher asserted that racial tensions began with the first Mexican migrant workers who did not speak English or assimilate to Anglo-American culture. One NAU student, Margaret Valdez, further explained the development of a Mexican-American inferiority complex that developed amongst first generation Mexican-Americans whose parents immigrated to the United States as farm laborers.
