    LEAD Replay180 Legacy Address - “Reies López Tijerina: Face of a Movement and Spirit of a Cause” Season 3 (2012) *This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 4:20PM

    Reies López Tijerina was born on a mound of cotton sacks on Sept. 21, 1926, near Falls City, Texas, to a family of migrant workers. In his early life he served briefly as a minister with the Assemblies of God before founding a utopian community in Pinal County, AZ, in the early 1950s. He had risen from general obscurity as a roaming country preacher in the Southwest to international fame as one of the most daring revolutionary figures in United States history.

    Tijerina created the Valley of Peace religious center in Southern Arizona in 1956. At about this time Tijerina learned of many families in the state of New Mexico who had been dispossessed of their ancestral lands. Tijerina had a mystic vision which he interpreted as a calling to move to New Mexico to help the Hispanos there reclaim legal jurisdiction over ancient land grants. He took up the cause of land-grant restoration in the 1960s and is best known as one of the earliest pioneers, and among the most influential social activists of the Mexican-American or Chicano Civil Rights Movement (although he best prefers the term Indo-Hispano). He is routinely identified as a warrior in the early social movements, along with César Chávez, the farm labor organizer in California; Colorado Chicano activist Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales; and La Raza Unida Party co-founder José Angel Gutiérrez in Texas.

    Reies López Tijerina founded the Alianza Federal de Pueblos Libres (Federal Alliance of Land Grants) in New Mexico to reclaim Spanish and Mexican land grants held by Mexicans and Native Americans before the U.S.-Mexican War (nearly 100 million-acres). The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed after the U.S. victory over Mexico, guaranteed Mexican citizens the retention of their land grants. The Alianza hoped to reclaim ownership of land through the courts of New Mexico; however, it was determined in a court ruling that the United States Congress was the arbitrator on issues of land rights based on international treaties.

    Tijerina became famous when on June 5, 1967 he led an armed raid on the Rio Arriba County Courthouse in Tierra Amarilla, NM. This event brought the issue of land rights to national attention and became a stimulus for the Chicano movement. The raid climaxed in a 90-minute shoot-out at the court house of Tierra Amarilla when Alianzistas tried to make a citizen’s arrest of certain New Mexican officials. The incident turned New Mexico into a battleground and put Tijerina on the front pages of the world’s newspapers.

    In 1968, Tijerina unsuccessfully ran for governor of New Mexico with The People's Constitutional Party. He also collaborated closely with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the Poor People's Campaign. Although Tijerina was found not guilty of the charges related to the courthouse raid, he eventually was convicted of charges stemming from the occupation of the amphitheater. He was jailed repeatedly and between June of 1969 and July of 1971 was held at in a federal penitentiary which led to the eventual dissolution of the Alianza, given the conditions of parole which included he could not speak about or lead any organization that addressed land grant issues.

    They Called Me “King Tiger”: My Struggle for the Land and Our Rights is Reies López Tijerina’s autobiography. In it, he archived his actions during the uprooting of the 1960s Mexican-American Civil Rights Movement. He was the only one of the group to keep a record of his work to explain what brought him and his Federal Land Grant Alliance members to break the law. Challenging the New Mexico and national authorities, reclaiming part of a national f...

  • Panel Discussion - “Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Cultural Citizenship: Challenges for Transformation”

    Panel Discussion - “Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Cultural Citizenship:

    Challenges for Transformation”

    Season 3 (2012) *This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 3:25PM

    Colleges and universities designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), with at least 25% of the students identifying as Hispanic, are poised to rigorously address complex and multifaceted social issues as they apply to the growing demographic. Hispanic students and faculty at HSI designated institutions have been and, with increased support, can engage in front line struggles to increase Hispanic student success.

    However, while the HSI designation plays a significant role in the historical trajectory of Hispanic education in the U.S., educators and policy-makers are troubled by the dismal success rate of this ethnographic populace in education, ranging from disproportionate high school “push out” rates through low college graduation rates and even into the professoriate, with less than four percent of doctoral degrees being awarded to Hispanics. The practice of privileging

    HSI designated colleges and universities with additional competitive-grant funding begs the question: how do these practices serve Hispanics in and out of higher education institutions?

    The HSI designation was created to compensate for existing educational disparities and recognize the educational achievement gaps of Hispanics. Educational inequality is a legacy of unfair practices such as unequal educational funding, unfair housing practices, and employment discrimination. The HSI designation is a call to action, it is not exclusively summoning Hispanics, it is a notice to higher education institutions. HSIs should bear a message and a mandate, a directive of inclusivity, of collectivity, of integration, representation, and accountability.

  • Forum - “The NetRoots Movement: the LEADing edge in Innovating, Applying, and Enhancing Technology to Leverage Latino Education and Advocacy” Season 3 (2012)

    LEAD Replay180 Forum - “The NetRoots Movement: the LEADing edge in Innovating, Applying, and Enhancing Technology to Leverage Latino Education and Advocacy” Season 3 (2012) *This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 2:00PM

    For decades, the inadequacies and shortcomings of Latino education have always been there - but a principal difference between then and now is scale. In opposition, innovation and ingenuity can become our community's most valuable resources. LEAD therefore serves as a primary site for innovative and productive projects in Latino Education. Our impact and success are grounded on collaboration, participation, and outreach. Our work, by necessity, involves

    significant participation and partnerships in the region and nationally, and strong interactive connections with Latino networks in the U.S., as well as Latin Americans and Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas and the world.

    The various LEAD networks reach agreement that there are important issues that directly or indirectly affect institutions and the multiple communities we straddle, that required us to do the action work that is most relevant for the local context, and in such a way that they can be used to inform and shape policy. Put simply, the LEAD movement engages- and believes that the singular accomplishable solution to our educational dilemma lies in community activism and democratic participation. "Netroots" is one way to describe our methods of awareness-raising, education, promotion, advocacy, activism, analysis, discussion, critique, and dissemination of educational issues that impact Latinos.

    The word is a combination of "internet and grassroots," reflecting the technological innovations, participatory democracy, and campaign-oriented activities that set our techniques apart from other forms of education and advocacy. Our work propels through local and regional efforts, with supra-local interlinks via national, and global web-based connectiveness -- that organizes communication points that spread out, but are not directed outward to, or from, any one singular point.

    This forum showcases LEAD Partners who are at the cutting-edge of technological innovation and application, as factors that can help mobilize and increase educational capacity and advocacy.

  • Forum - “Creating the Future: Student LEADers in Action”, Season 3 (2012)
    2023/11/21
    This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 1:00PM

    Many times as educators and policymakers we fail to survey the opinions of some of our most important stakeholders - - the students themselves!

    This panel brings together community college students from throughout the state of California who were participants of the Puente Project. These particular students also participated in the University of California-Riverside/Puente Leadership Conference, which is a 10-day residential program designed to help each student explore their own individuality while affirming their cultural capital and diverse political views.

    As a result, many of these students have become active leaders in their communities and campuses. They have organized marches, held positions of leadership, created conferences, and even spoken with legislators at the California State Capitol. They have also created a statewide network of peers to not only support each other's educational journeys, but also to share ideas and resources on various topics of advocacy. They are here today to share their views and ideas on areas such as educational equity, budgets cuts, and immigration.

  • Forum - “Sustaining, Replicating, and Bringing Up-to-Scale those Programs that Work for Latino Youth”, Season 3 (2012)
    2023/11/14
    This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 10:30AM

    The theme for the 2012 LEAD Summit “Sustaining, Replicating, and Bringing Up-to-Scale those Programs that Work for Latino Youth” was of particular importance because the Latino population was large, growing, and relatively young, but had lower educational achievement than other groups in the nation. Addressing the educational needs of the fastest-growing community in the United States, the Latino community, is therefore vital to our local, regional, state, and national interests.

    Given this importance, it is imperative to continue the work of identifying and cataloguing those programs across the U.S. that show evidence of increasing the access, opportunity, and achievement gaps for Latino students. Some programs were shaped specifically to serve young Latinos, while others serve the broader populations or focus on raising student achievement in general but have shown strong benefits for Latino young people.

    Because we know many of the programs making a difference in our community concentrate their limited funds on direct service provision rather than evaluation or marketing, our defining role for the future, as leaders and influencers, is to sustain, replicate, and bring up-to-scale those actionable practices most promising, and unveil a roadmap that is hopeful, solution-oriented and forward-thinking.

    This session highlights a few such programs currently making a positive difference in the lives and educational development from early childhood through higher education. Participants will offer descriptions and practical information shown to be effective.

    2023/11/06
    This segment is date/time stamped: March 28, 2012; 9:15AM

    The theme for the 2012 LEAD Summit “Sustaining, Replicating, and Bringing Up-to-Scale those Programs that Work for Latino Youth” was of particular importance because the Latino population was large, growing, and relatively young, but had lower educational achievement than other groups in the nation.

    It was particularly imperative to identify and catalogue those programs across the U.S. that showed evidence of increasing the access, opportunity, and achievement gaps for Latino students.

    This session featured an opening keynote by Dr. Eduardo M. Ochoa, then Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education, followed up with a youth panel comprised of LEAD Education Projects students.

    President Barack Obama named Eduardo M. Ochoa assistant secretary for postsecondary

    education in 2010, where he served as the secretary's chief advisor on higher-education issues and administered more than 60 programs, totaling nearly $3 billion annually, that are designed to provide financial assistance to eligible students enrolled in postsecondary institutions.

    ED's Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) supports higher education facilities and programs through financial support to eligible institutions, recruits and prepares disadvantaged students for successful completion of college, promotes the study of foreign languages and international affairs, and supports international educational research and exchange activities. Notable among its programs are the eight TRIO programs, institutional development programs for minority institutions, teacher development programs, and the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. OPE runs the well-known Byrd, Fulbright, Javits and McNair programs and certifies all regional and national accreditation agencies, so they, in turn, may qualify institutions to receive federal financial aid and Pell grants.

La importancia del involucramiento familiar, en el sistema de educación en los estados unidos es una parte esencial, en el logro de las metas académicas de los estudiantes. The education system strives for parents to be involved in their children's education from early childhood through high school. Therefore, districts and schools offer alternatives where parents have an active participation in their children's school area. There is still a need to continue looking for effective strategies to get more parents involved. Statistics indicate the low percentage of Latino students who make it to college and the large number of Latino students who drop out (or are pushed out) of school. El sistema educativo se esfuerza por que los padres participen en la educación de sus hijos desde la primera infancia hasta la escuela secundaria. Por ello, los distritos y escuelas ofrecen alternativas donde los padres de familia tienen una participación activa en el ámbito escolar de sus hijos. Todavía existe la necesidad de seguir buscando estrategias efectivas para involucrar a más padres. Las estadísticas indican el bajo porcentaje de estudiantes latinos que llegan a la universidad y la gran cantidad de estudiantes latinos que abandonan (o son expulsados) de la escuela.

    Cafecito Con . . . Entre Mujeres

    Dance Film, and on the Teaching of Mexican Foklorico, with Folklorista Rayven Armijo

    Season 2 (2022)

    *This segment is date/time stamped: June 23rd, 2022; 2:15PM PST

    LEAD-Affiliate Programming from Studio 54, “Cafecito Con . . . Entre Mujeres” is a show where we invite guests to inform us, enlighten us, and inspire us by sharing about themselves and the spaces they step into and make their own.

    We are an intergenerational trio, hoping to bring you conversations about women, with women, and for women. We hope to build a community without borders so that women can express, inspire, inform and lead to true self-growth.

    Rayven Armijo, a dancer. choreographer, folklorista, role model, and founder of Las Mijas shares some of her experiences and thoughts on teaching Mexican Folklorico at various schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. She relays stories about how some students aren't always open to that - Mexican Folklorico.

    She shares a “dance film” produced in affiliation with SPARC, a Los Angeles-based visual arts organization, and filmed at one particular Continuing School in Venice, California named Phoenix High School. She asks the students to think about “Dance, Film, and Movement”; and prompts them to express the differences in their experience attending a continuation school.

    The dance film she introduces is a story of conflict, but where students are allowed to express their story through Folklorico.

    Mami (mom), wife, friend, sister, tía, comadre, friend, mentor, a student of life. My idea is that we talk about not-the hats we wear, rather, that we talk about the spaces we step into. I invite conversations to explore what we do, why we do it, and who we are as we influence our circles. Titles are limiting; therefore, I do not want to talk about the hats we wear or the roles we play, I think in terms of what shoes to wear to be ready to step into the spaces we walk into. There is a shoe for...
