When it comes to the Mexican-American experience in San Antonio and South Texas, the UTSA Libraries Special Collections is considered the library of record, said director Amy Rushing.
The Mexican-American or Chicano civil rights movement that flourished in San Antonio and South Texas in the 60s and 70s is an area of priority, Rushing said.
“We feel like this topic and this history needs to be preserved. We want it for our students to know that this is their history,” said Rushing, emphasizing that UTSA is a Hispanic-serving institution. Rushing said the large array of photos, clippings, scrapbooks and memorabilia spread across several tables were pulled from several collections donated by activists past and present.
