How did an Indigenous migrant community from Oaxaca begin building a grassroots social movement in San Diego, CA during the 1980s and early 1990s? My article about this community is currently available for free during the month of April! Thanks @illinoispress.bsky.social for making this possible!

IHRC was fortunate to host @jmelendezbadillo.bsky.social in December and he discussed his collab with Bad Bunny. Here is his op ed on Benito's amazing historic Superbowl halftime show www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

Essay: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show will be a history lesson for the ages
Historian Jorell A. Meléndez-Badillo hopes Bad Bunny's halftime show will combat "acute ignorance" about Puerto Rico and its ongoing entanglement with the United States.

Exactly. This is why they want to ban Ethnic Studies from schools — to keep people ignorant of this history and to keep alive the myth of American exceptionalism. This isn’t just stuff that happens “over there.” If you want to talk about Nazis you need to talk about what they learned from Jim Crow.

I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely The need to do that hasn’t changed If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that
