Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Teach The Children The Truth! Ethnic Studies and Raza Studies In the TK-12 Classroom...
Monday, June 5th, marked the 56th anniversary of the 1967 courthouse raid in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico that brought the land grant struggle to the center of the larger Civil Rights Movement that spread throughout the U.S. Southwest in the 1960s and 1970s. This week, we will explore this critical event in Chicano History, and alongside it, we will also examine the more recent #LandBack Movement spurred by centuries of Indigenous uprisings across both continents known as the "Americas."
