Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document -- will have corrected. Skeletons have rattled in our closets, and we have feared to pull them out into the light of day and thereby lay their ghosts. Vital issues -- shocking health conditions, ignorance, abysmal poverty, wholesale peonage -- have been ignored or covered up; locked up, like the idiot child, in our gloomiest attic so that the neighbors may not doubt our respsectability. I think that it is high time that we began to call a spade a spade, and act accordingly. The two and one half million Spanish-speaking people of this region constitute the least known, the least sponsored, and the least vocal large minority group in the nation. In effect, these people are an orphan group -- unorganized, incoherent, and without a semblance of a friend in court. Even those professionally interested in their problems are without organization, without means of communication, and without that status in their own professions which would enable them to exercise the leadership that is within their competence. It was with the hope that some of these lacks might be met that I have promoted the formation of this Southwest Council on Education. Just getting together every twelve months or so has helped. The exchange of ideas, the good fellowship, and the reciprocal moral support that we have gotten out of our sessions have alone more than justified the time, energy, and money spent in making these meetings possible. I am convinced that nothing must be left undone to make such conferences a permanent institution, and I want it understood that I am placing in your hands the task of finding ways and means of doing that job. But more is needed than conferences and other professional avenues of communication. We need effective professional leadership – leadership that expresses itself beyond the halls of learning and beyond the narrow limits of academic specialties. We need a new conception on the part of public institutions and of public figures of their social responsibilities – and of the fact that the Spanish-speaking people loom large in those responsibilities. These people and their problems are not new. They have been with us in the Southwest for a long time. Their problems are really old, very much neglected, ones. They do not call for miracles, either, for they are usually of such a nature that they do not demand more than just clear thinking, and honest effort, and the expression in action of the most rudimentary sort of Christian morality and common decency. In the main, though they are certainly not homogenous, Spanish-speaking people are close to a folk culture; they are isolated; they speak an untutored Spanish; and, to greater or lesser degree, they follow outmoded norms. They tend to be economically backward, lacking preparation in technology and in modern business methods. But these manifestations of cultural variation are not insurmountable. Education, guidance – a patient, intelligent, planned attack could, in the 100 years at our disposal, have given these people a thoroughgoing apprenticeship. Failure to attack these -- -- and conscientious tutelage of their English-speaking brothers. It would be most unfair and incorrect to say that some of that promise has not been realized. All of us are aware that much has been done to make Spanish-speaking people beneficiaries of the good things of life in the American scene. It is with what could have been done – with what has been left undone in this respect – that I am concerned at this moment. What the exploitation of local resources geared to the status and the requirements of this region? Look at the mass peonage here and the answer is made patent. Many industries of the Southwest, particularly agriculture, are based on a modern version of mediaeval serfdom. To avoid meeting the requirements of a decent standard of living, our commercial farmers – aided and abetted by political leadership at the highest levels – have repeatedly consigned the local population to perdition and have recruited Mexican aliens as cheap, submissive labor. When they can’t get that alien labor legally, they get it illegally. Every year – last year, this year – there are hundreds of thousands of Wetbacks working in the cotton fields, in the citrus groves, on the railroad tracks, on sheep and cattle ranches. They work for a pittance, under deplorable conditions – and they pull down the local Spanish-speaking population to their own miserable level. These local people become displaced persons – migrating from slum areas to the fields and on to other slum areas and other fields: miserable folk, ignorant, sick, abandoned. No, our English-speaking leaders are not without blame. They have prized a bale of cotton above human decency, a carload of grapefruit above the health and enlightenment of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children. I am not going to set forth the failures in other areas – though I could describe to you situations in other fields that reveal the same kind of neglect that I have mentioned for agriculture. Let me simply enumerate some of the ares that, like agriculture, reflect no credit on our leaders: 1. Public Health. 2. Housing. 3. The whole field of civic liberties. 4. Social incorporation. 5. The Church. 6. Education. A few words about education – for we must not hesitate to pour ashes on our own hands. Maybe, after due penance, we may be impelled to a fresh start, with renewed vigor, and a clearer insight as to the goals and responsibilities that are those of our profession as regards the Spanish-speaking population. First of all, I recognize that we have many excuses for some of our major failures. Some of those excuses have the ring of extenuating circumstances, some are clearly nonsense. We can all agree with what Benito Juarez once said: It is any wonder that there still exists a great gulf between large sectors of the Spanish-speaking population and the rest of society? In view of the default of educational leadership, it would be remarkable if that gulf did not exist. I could spend a lot of time outlining remedies. But the maladies suggest the cures: if people are hungry, let us go out and see that they eat; if they are sick, let us strive to make them well; if they are ignorand and benighted, let us take enlightenment to them. Some will say: “But that is expensive.” True – but misery is not cheap. Others will say: “But we don’t know how.” That I will not believe, for I have the utmost confidence in our ability to conquer these issues – we have conquered much more difficult ones, once we set our minds to it. Some will ask: “Will the public go with us?” Here again, I have the utmost confidence that the American people are honest, freedom-loving, decent people – and we have but to convince them of the justice of the reforms needed and they will be one with us. As you can see, I am highly critical of the past – but I look to the future with optimism and high hope, True we have a large job to do. All right, let’s get at it. Let us stop spinning our wheels in the sands of the ordinary. Let us get on solid ground, with clear direction, and guide the education of Spanish-speaking people in such a way that they will quickly share their full measure of the American Way of Life.

Text Any textual data included in the document A SUGGESTION FOR ATTACKING ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION. (Prepared for presentation at the First Southwide Conference on Discrimination in Higher Education, Atlanta University, April 8, 1950.) Lyle Saunders. Department of Sociology. University of New Mexico. To be realistic, any program which is designed to reduce or eliminate discrimination in higher education must take cognizance of the fact that such discrimination is only one aspect of a wider pattern of relationships and behavior, and that it cannot be either understood or attacked except in the wider context. This preliminary statement is necessary in order to tie in a suggestion I have to make with the aims and purposes of this conference. It is discrimination in higher education, but which seeks to contribute something to that goal through a plan for doing something about discrimination in another area. An ideal attack on discrimination should, I thin, seek at least four complementary goals. It should recognize that discrimination is not, under any foreseeable circumstances, likely to disappear suddenly and should, therefore, make some attempt to minimalize the effects of discrimination during the period it is still with us. It should, secondly, make some provision for easily and clearly distinguishing between the sheep and the goats, between those who discriminate or support discrimination and those who dislike it and would like to see it ended. It should be designed to win and utilize the support of those numerous persons who, while not actively in favor of discrimination, will not take the risk or devote their time and energies to any militant remedial program. And, finally, it should put some effective continuing kind of pressure on the discriminators which would make it advantageous to them to change their ways and penalize them for continuing their discriminatory policies. With these ends in mind, I should like to propose a simple and easily workable way to attack discrimination, which would not be costly and which could be inaugurated with a minimum of effort. This is probably not an original idea; such a program may be under way somewhere already. But if the idea has been borrowed, I do not know to whom I am indebted for it, and if such a plan is in operation anywhere, I do not know of it and would welcome information about its results. My suggestion is simply this: Let there be designed a placard with an appropriate and meaningful pictorial symbol and bearing a legend saying in effect: “This institution is operated in accordance with democratic principles and the American creed. Whoever you are, you are welcome here.” Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Manuscript Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS OF GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY IN TEXAS. It is not possible to measure social change or improvement without more funds than the Commission has available. However, there is easily observable evidence of the following favorable trends: a growing Latin and Anglo-Texan leadership working along lines of sane and constructive civic action; improved relations with Mexico as indicated by friendly attitudes of officials, increased travel and retail buying between Texas and Mexico, and the bracero agreement which allows contracting of Mexican workers for areas of Texas where officials maintain a friendly and sympathetic attitude toward the human relations of the workers; relatively improved economic conditions of the Spanish-speaking people of Texas, as indicated by interest of business in this group as a retail market; growing activity of the State government, as represented by creation of a Council for the Study of Human Relations. PROBLEMS AFFECTING INTERAMERICAN RELATIONS STILL WITHOUT A REMEDY. Aspects of the still unsolved problems of inter-American relations are: a large migrant group of poor people in Texas, who are isolated by their conditions of life, from government, education, and economic security; a similar group of people in Mexico, pressing for seasonal jobs in the United States; national prejudices among the ignorant and thoughtless of both nations, which are exploited by anti-patriotic agents on both side of our border.

In this source, economic inequality and poorer life conditions for Mexican Americans are pinpointed as the next steps for activists to take towards racial equality. Still, the council generally agreed that improved relations between Mexico and the United States and the general attitudes of all attendees made the council productive and effective in its mission.

Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Here is a list of what you can do in Texas to be good neighbors: 1) You can speak out--with dignity but with conviction-- for the American principle of fair play. Here is an opportunity for every newspaper, every radio commentator, for every public speaker, for every teacher, for every citizen. Discrimination against Latin-American people in public places, hostility on the school grounds, refusal to employ Latin-American teachers who can do the job, refusal to pay an equal wage for equal work--all these are not fair. Let us say so. Public opinion is a great democratic monitor. Let's put it to work. 2) You can organize local groups to discuss inter-American problems, to examine relations in your own community, and to act as citizens of good will in adjusting problems in human relations. The Governor of Texas has asked for the formation of local human relations councils for this purpose. If your town does not have one, go to your mayor and ask him about forming one. There are 25 such councils in the state now as the result of the recommendations of Governor Shivers and the efforts of the Good Neighbor Commission. There should be 200. 3) See that your school does its human relations job.Are the Latin- American children pushed off to one side? Made to feel out of place and un-happy? Find the way to bring them into the group. Children can be thoughtless and cruel, but children also have a great wealth of friendliness if it is properly exploited. That is your opportunity--especially if you are a parent or teacher. Is your local school getting a full attendance of the school children in its district? Our records show that many Texas schools are getting only a little more than half of the registered scholastic population. The Gilmer-Aiken Law has not done the job on school attendance. The law exists. Ask your County Judge to enforce it. Is Spanish taught in your school? You can also help by seeing that your superintendent includes Spanish in his curriculum. Are our own Latin-American teachers being given an opportunity to teach conversational Spanish as they are so well prepared to do? How about the teaching of Texas history? Does it create prejudice? you can bring this up for examination. 4) Finally, if you wish any help or action in any of the fields of opportunity for better inter-American relations, you can write to the Good Neighbor Commission in Austin. We will find the way to help you, for we believe in doing the job that the Legislature of Texas asked us to do. We are at your service. Can we make the Good Neighbor Policy work in Texas? If we can't, how do we expect to make it work in the rest of the world? I think that the natural friendliness and fairness, the optimism, and the principle of free education of the American people will do the job--hard as it is. I think that if we add a little philosophy, a little spiritual understanding, and even a little laughter from our Latin neighbors, the job will not be hard. I say we can make the Good Neighbor Policy work in Texas!
