A
message, a narrative, a story
We
are One.
Recovery-You may normally think of
recovery in relation to an individual or a community suffering from a crisis
event. Recovery can also occur
within a nation, a culture of peoples devastated by some event that has
uprooted their heritage, or their culture out of their normal practice that has
persisted for generations.
Black
History Month
is not just about the ‘Negro’, the Colored, and African American, the Black
experience for equity, justice, housing, jobs, medical & health care. But a month for all (Black, Latino,
communities of color) that have experienced and are recovering from
unjust and immoral practices.

Association, and BEMA International

http://www.newmexicopbs.org - Corridos are
ballads, often referred to as windows that look into the soul of a people.
They are the songs of the time, supplementing recorded documents as
historical artifacts that describe the popular consciousness at the time in
which they were written.
This week, we experience the songs of corridistas, Antonio
Martinez, Roberto Martinez, and Chuy Martinez.
These land grant activists wrote about the centuries old
struggle. Their feelings have been kept alive in song. The story they tell
surrounds the Flores family's struggle to retain a portion of the Tierra
Amarilla Land Grant, due for development by an Arizona consortium. This case
is only a small part of the larger struggle of indigenous people displaced
from their land. The legal issue of the occupation of land by activists has
recently been settled out of court, but the larger issue of the dispossession
of land remains.
