A Place of Our Own: Mexican American Veterans in the Post-war Southwest

World War II was a watershed moment for Mexican Americans and their quest for equality-during the war, Mexican Americans served in the military and worked on the Home Front to support their country, and therefore, when it ended, were no longer willing to accept second-class citizenship.

Why is it that our culture is always forgotten. Why is it that motion pictures has always put out great movies about World War II like Saving private Ryan, that one movie about the black Fighter squadron. But yet nothing about mexico or Hispanics fighting in WW2? Also famoso mexican actors and flim makers need to make one think of our people
