Afternoon Plenary - “Beyond the Broadcast of PBS' LATINO AMERICANS: a Public Engagement and Education Campaign”

Season 4 (2013)

*This segment is date/time stamped: March 27, 2013; 1:20PM

LATINO AMERICANS, a documentary series produced by WETA Washington, D.C.; Bosch and Company, Inc.; and Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB), will air nationwide on PBS in the Fall of 2013. The three-part, six-hour long series will narrate the story of Latino Americans from 1800 to the 21st Century, starting with the English and Spanish colonies, and following with a survey of milestones in Latino American history. The series will intersect with much that is central to the history of the United States such as multiple wars, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement. LATINO AMERICANS will also go to places where standard U.S. histories do not tend to tread, driven by the human dramas of individuals’ struggles and triumphs, successes and disappointments, people whose stories tell us much about their times.

Members of the production team will discuss the many perspectives brought to the creation of the series. Their collective experience spans filmmaking around the world for news, documentaries and feature films, and individuals on the team have had their work recognized with George Foster Peabody Awards, Imagen Awards, Emmy Awards, Christopher Awards, Erik Barnouw Awards and an NCLR ALMA Outstanding Career Achievement Award.

Panelists will also share the unfolding major bilingual public engagement and education campaign, the corresponding bilingual website with user-generated digital content, social media platforms, and the development and distribution of school-based curricula.

Morning Address by Honorable Raul Ruiz– "Investing in Community - Investing in Education: Honoring the Social Contract"

Season 4 (2013)

*This segment is date/time stamped: March 27, 2013; 10:30AM

Dr. Raul Ruiz is not a politician; he is a public servant and physician, dedicated to serving the community. The son of farmworkers, Raul grew up in Coachella and learned at an early age that the key to attaining the American Dream was hard work and a great education. In the summer of 1990, under the hot desert sun, Raul walked from business to business in the Coachella Valley asking them to invest in their community by contributing to his education. With each investment for college, he made a promise to come back home and serve the community as a physician.

After his education at Harvard, Dr. Ruiz returned to the Coachella Valley, where he utilized his education and experience to not only lead but also serve as a physician, as he had promised. As the founder and director of the Coachella Valley Healthcare Initiative, he brought together stakeholders to improve public health and healthcare access in the Coachella Valley.

Dr. Ruiz's commitment to community service and his humanitarian efforts on behalf of vulnerable populations have earned recognition throughout the Coachella Valley.

His story was featured on CNN's Latino in America. On November 6, 2012, Congressman Dr. Ruiz was elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives (California's 36th congressional district) after defeating the redistricted incumbent Representative as a first-time candidate.

Cafecito Con . . . Entre Mujeres

Interview with Lucy Gallardo

Season 3 (2023)

*This segment is date/time stamped: July 18th, 2023; 12:00PM 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.

Meet Lucy Gallardo, owner of Inland Empire Auto Body and Paint - a mom, wife, daughter, mentor, and friend. As a woman leading a business in an industry traditionally dominated by men, Lucy has navigated challenges and carved her own path to success.

According to Forbes, women influence 85% of car-buying decisions and make up 62% of car buyers. In fact, there are 1.4 million more women with driver’s licenses in the U.S. than men. Yet, despite their strong presence as consumers, women remain significantly underrepresented in leadership roles across the automotive industry. One major barrier? The persistence of "old boys' club" networks that limit opportunities for women to break into leadership. (Source: Forbes) [forbes.com]

Lucy shares that working alongside her husband has been a key factor in her growth. Their ability to support and rely on each other has played a crucial role in both their success and ongoing education. Additionally,...

Meet Linda Dominguez, Chief of Executive Internal Affairs and Community Partnerships at Girl Scouts of San Gregorio - a dedicated mom, proud "Nana," and self-made leader. Linda shares her journey of building a successful career and the obstacles she has overcome along the way.

- Delila A. Vasquez: Founder, Producer & Co-Host (she, her, ella)

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 every occasion, and we need to step into these spaces with firm footing to be authentic and bring forth the best version of ourselves. We are role models, followers, leaders. learners, teachers and more whether we intend or not, so why not be intentional.

- Rosa Martin Muñoz: Communications Director & Co-Host

A daughter, a proud Latina, a professional, an educator, someone who believes in leading with love. I value personal connection to build relationships and community. Growing up, I didn’t have professional role models - much less Latina role models. Through this medium I want to bring everyday women’s voices as our role models. I see Young and Younger women benefiting from the power of leading with love. I want to engage our neighbors and friends in good-old-fashion conversations that will leave us inspired and enlightened. I want to role model conversations about success, struggle, and inclusiveness. I want us to hear from trailblazers, intrapreneurs, scientists, mothers, s...

Cafecito Con . . . Entre Mujeres

Interview with Rosemary Bernal-Gomez

Season 3 (2023)

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.

Meet Rosemary Bernal-Gomez - a daughter of migrant workers who grew and worked in the fields, determined to give their daughter the education they never had. Now a mother of four, a wife, and a passionate mathematician, Rosemary describes mathematics as her "love language." Her deep love for numbers led her to coding and innovation, where she has established herself as an AI coder.

According to the National Science Foundation, the STEM workforce grew by 20% in the decade leading up to 2021. While women have yet to achieve parity with men in STEM, their participation has increased at a faster rate - 31% compared to a 15% increase among men. (Source: NSF, March 21, 2024) [nsf.gov].

Nevertheless, gender disparities persist. Research by the London Mathematical Society (LMS) highlights that:

• In the 2017/18 academic year, 89% of mathematical science professors were male, while only 11% were female—an increase from 7% in 2011/12. (LMS analysis of HESA data, 2017) [lms.ac.uk].
• The percentage of women among MSc students in mathematics has grown from 37% to 43%, yet female representation at other academic stages has remained stagnant. (LMS National Benchmarking Study, 2018) [lms.ac.uk].

Rosemary believes in leading with grace while staying true to her authentic self. Currently pursuing her doctorate, she is passionate about supporting women in discovering and embracing their own talents. Her journey ignites an important conversation about breaking barriers in male-dominated fields and empowering women to step into these spaces with confidence and success.

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”

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.
