Subject
Oscar Martinez and his Orchestra | Tejano Musicians | Mexican American Cultural Identity and Influences | Joe Morris | Ofelia Morris | Ysidra Cano
Description
The items included convey how the Oscar Martinez Orchestra exists as one of many undervalued, unrecognized cultural contributions from Mexican Americans in South Texas. Moreover, these resources highlight the deficiencies in the present-day understanding of Tejano influence in the state.
Additionally, a subsection is dedicated to my great-grandfather Joe Morris, a former member of the Oscar Martinez Orchestra.
