Mexican Americans and World War II
Maggie Rivas Rodriguez will visit Our Lady of the Lake University on Friday, Sept. 28; she will give a presentation in the Providence West Social Room at 7 P.M.
She’ll be here during the week of the PBS broadcasts of Ken Burns' documentary, The War.
Maggie’s book, Mexican Americans and World War II, has garnered much acclaim over the last couple years and is considered a tremendously important book in the ever-expanding literature about the Mexican American experience.
Maggie gained national prominence in 2007 by leading protests that Ken Burns’ forthcoming PBS documentary “The War” did not include any Latinos; Burns incorporates Latino stories into the 14-hour, seven-part documentary, airing in September
