THIS DAY IN Mexican Colonized History
LA PRENSA HISTORY 1821-1993 A Brief and Partial Chronology of Texas
1951-1962
Researched, compiled & edited by Mario Longoria, Ph.D.
-1951. In July, the U.S. Congress enacts Public Law 78, formally
titled the “Bracero Program,” which becomes a major element in the
agriculture of Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Arkansas, and
a minor JERCIANTS of LABOR one in 20 other states. Interestingly,
the states of Texas The Madcom Bracco Story and California account
for almost three-fourths of the total braceros brought into the U.S.
-1954. In the landmark case of “Hernandez vs. Texas”, the U.S. Su-
preme Court recognized Mexican Americans as a separate class of
people suffering profound discrimination in Texas. The court ruled
that Pete Hernandez, who was convicted of murder, was denied
equal protection under the law because the jury selection process
in Jackson County, Texas excluded Mexican Americans from jury
service for the previous 25 years. Mexican American attorney Gus
Garcia’s eloquent argument before the Supreme Court of the U.S was
allowed an additional 16 minutes that resulted in the case’s reversal.
Interestingly, the case was heard by the Supreme Court Justice Thur-
good Marshall who a few days later argued another equally important
Civil Rights case of “Brown versus Board of Education.”
-”Operation Wetback” begins in 1954 and continues into the 1960’s.
In the first year of operation over 1.2 million Mexican illegals and
some U.S. citizens are deported back to Mexico.
-1957 The first Civil Rights Act is passed by the U.S. Congress.
-Texas State Senators Henry B. Gonzalez from San Antonio and
Abraham “Chic” Kazan from Laredo, Texas filibustered the passage
of 5 segregation Bills in the State Senate for 37 hours. When all was
said and done, only one Bill passed.
--Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson and ex-governor Coke Stevenson
are involved in a controversial run-off election. Johnson wins by only
85 votes and both parties make charges of voter fraud. Interestingly,
in Duval County it is later discovered that 40-50 votes cast in the
election were by people no longer living.
-In Hernandez vs. Driscoll Consolidated Independent School Dis-
trict, the Texas court held that abusing the language deficiency of
Mexican American children and grouping them in separate schools
is “unreasonable race discrimination.”
-1962. Brackenridge High School football team of San Antonio,
Texas captured the State Class AAAA High School Football Cham-
pionship. The team comprised of purely Mexican and Black players
beat predominately rich and powerful Anglo schools. It is the first and
only time in Texas School Boy Football History a diverse Mexican
and Black team captured the Texas Schoolboy 16-AAAA Football
State Championship.
