KALAMAZOO, July2018: Following a nation-wide search, WesternMichigan University hasnamed an experienced col-lege administrator, profes-sor and rising chief diver-sity officer to continueadvancing theUniversity’s commitmentto a culture of inclusivity.

Dr. Candy McCorkle,currently director of diver-sity and inclusion at AlmaCollege, will join WMU asits next vice president fordiversity and inclusion, ef-fective Aug. 1.

“Dr. McCorkle brings anextraordinary vision, pas-sion and expertise to thechallenge of building andmaintaining a truly diverseand inclusive campus com-munity,” says WMU Presi-dent Edward Montgomery.

“I am confident that,working with the WMUcommunity, she will helpmake us a diverse and in-clusive school of choice.”

Dr. Yvette D. Hyter, whochaired the search advisorycommittee for the position,characterizes Dr. McCorkleas a rising leader in pro-moting diversity in highereducation and “well-suited” to continue to in-crease diversity and to ad-vance inclusion and equityat every level and acrossall units in WMU.

“Her role as vice presi-dent for diversity and in-clusion is critical for theinclusive and equitablefunctioning of every unitwithin the University andessential for continuingestablished relationshipsand building new ones inthe diverse communitiesserved by WMU,” says Dr.Hyter, a professor of

speech, language, and hear-ing sciences.

Dr. McCorkle replacesthe retiring Dr. MarthaWarfield, who was theUniversity’s first chief diver-sity officer and has served inthat role since 2010. She re-tires at the end of July aftermore than 25 years with theUniversity.

Director of diversity andinclusion at Alma since2016, manager of thecollege’s King Chávez ParksMentor Program Grant and aWMU alumna, Dr. McCorklesays she is excited to beginthe next phase of her profes-sional journey at her almamater.

“WMU is an institutionknown for its innovation. Itis an institution that insteadof following the trends triesto identify its strengths andleverage those for the better-ment of the students and theglobal community,” shesays, noting that the Univer-sity has demonstrated a com-mitment to diversity and in-clusion.

“It is my goal as the newVP for diversity and inclu-sion to capitalize on thatcommitment and continue tomove us forward to becomean institution that values itsstudents, staff and faculty.To be an inclusive institu-tion, we must create spacesfor each of us to be our au-thentic selves and to alloweach voice to have influencein shaping our collectivedestiny,” she says.

“We are living in a time inwhich division seems to bethe norm; however, I havenever been one to adhere tonorms. We have an opportu-nity to not only shape WMUbut to shape higher educa-tion. I want WMU to be the

gold standard for diver-sity and inclusion.”

In her tenure with AlmaCollege, McCorkle hasdeveloped and imple-mented programming topromote diversity and in-clusion on campus, facili-tated diversity educationfor faculty, staff and stu-dents, and she has collabo-rated with the administra-tion on creating policiesand practices that fosterinclusiveness. She alsohas collaborated with in-ner-city high schools inDetroit to assist studentsin gaining access to highereducation.

Previously, sheworked at Jackson Col-lege as an adjunct admin-istrator then as assistantdean of the honors col-lege, at Central MichiganUniversity as director ofthe Global Campus Coun-seling Program in the De-partment of Counselingand Special Education,and at Spring Arbor Uni-versity as director of theMaster of Arts in coun-seling. She has been anassistant professor ofcounseling and specialeducation at CMU and anassociate professor ofpsychology at SAU, aswell as a substance abuseprevention consultant inBattle Creek and a sub-stance abuse therapist inJackson.

WMU appoints new VP for diversity andinclusion

DETROIT/GRANDRAPIDS, July30, 2018(AP): Last Wednesday, U.S.Sen. Bernie Sanders ofVermont endorsed Dr.Abdul El-Sayed inMichigan’s race for gover-nor, providing a boost tothe candidate in the clos-ing weeks of the Demo-cratic primary August 7th;so did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Sen. Sanders, who nar-rowly defeated HillaryClinton in Michigan’s2016 presidential primary,issued a statement sayingEl-Sayed would “fight fora government in Lansingthat represents all thepeople, and not justwealthy special interests.”He cited El-Sayed’s sup-port for a “Medicare forall” single-payer health caresystem and other liberal ini-tiatives such as tuition-freecollege, a $15 an hour mini-mum wage and environ-mental protections.

Dr. El-Sayed, the formerhealth director for the cityof Detroit, said he was “hon-ored and humbled” to havethe support of the country’s“progressive standard-bearer,” and was thankfulthat Sanders and Ms.Ocasio-Cortez had “recog-nized that there is only oneprogressive running for

governor ofMichigan.”

Dr. El-Sayedis battling formerl e g i s l a t i v eleader GretchenWhitmer andchemical-testinge n t r e p r e n e u rShri Thanedarfor the Demo-cratic nomina-tion. He hastrailed in polling,but his Sanders-style brand ofliberalism—hedenounces cor-porate money in politics—has won him backing fromwithin the party’s more lib-eral wing.

Dr. El-Sayed’s campaignsays he, Sen. Sanders, and Ms.Ocasio-Cortez represent theDemocratic Party’s future andare proposing “real progres-sive solutions.”

U.S. House candidateOcasio-Cortez, who stunneda 10-term congressman in aNew York Democratic pri-mary on June 26 [winning bydouble-digits, 57.5% to42.5%], likewise, campaignedwith El-Sayed in Detroit,Grand Rapids, Flint, andYpsilanti last weekend. Ms.Ocasio-Cortez is a strong sup-porter of Universal HealthCare.

Meanwhile, a group of

Latino leaders hosted Lan-sing/Detroit meet & greetsin support of GretchenWhitmer for Governor—¡Viva Whitmer!

TOLEDO, July 2018:The Arts Commission hasannounced the selection ofartwork for a new large-scalepublic art project in WestToledo.

Through an effort to fur-ther distribute Toledo’spublic works of art moreevenly by district, ClosePark in District 5 was iden-tified as a site for a newpublic art project for 2019.

Nestled in a denselypopulated West Toledoneighborhood and acrossthe street from Blessed Sac-rament School, this site hasbeen identified as an ideallocation for a new publicart project.

A request for qualifica-tions was sent out on Janu-ary 4, 2018, which resultedin responses

from over 60 artists fromall over the United States.

After an extensive re-view process, includingcommunity meetings withneighborhood stakehold-ers, the Design ReviewBoard has selected Minne-

apolis artist RandyWalker’s proposalentitled Close,Closer, Closest. Theinstallation in-cludes approxi-mately 400 colorfully paintedsteel poles representing eachhouse in the immediateneighborhood. The poles willstand

in a small garden mimick-ing the larger shape of ClosePark.

Like the park itself, Close,Closer, Closest will be an in-teractive life-filled space,with changing

experiences throughoutthe seasons and multiple van-tage points as the viewermoves around and throughthe sculpture. Close, Closer,Closest is an artistic visual-ization of the neighborhood.

In keeping with this con-cept, community memberswill have the opportunity todirectly impact the final formof the artwork. Through a se-ries of outreach methods, eachhousehold in the immediateneighborhood will determine

the height (correspondingto the height of a chosenmember of the household)and color (selected from alimited palette of colorsfound throughout theneighborhood) of one pole.

Participants will alsohave the option of writingdown a story or memory re-lating to the park, to berolled and placed within thepoles like messages in abottle, or a community timecapsule. A written docu-ment indexing pole loca-tion and participants’ nameswill be provided for publicreference.

Installation of the workis planned for spring of 2019.The budget for the project is$70,000 and is funded bythe City of Toledo’s OnePercent for Art Program.

July 25, 2018 (AP): Fordecades, many U.S. highschools have offered arange of college-level Ad-vanced Placement coursesto allow high achievers toshine above and beyond astandard diploma. Butthere’s another standardthat many schools haveadopted: the InternationalBaccalaureate.

“There has definitelybeen an uptick of IB di-ploma programs across theUnited States, and it is con-sidered the gold standardamong college admissionsofficials,” says ShelleeHendricks, director of col-lege counseling at theFrench-American School ofNew York, in Mamaroneck,which recently began of-fering the IB diploma.

Colleen Duffy, market-ing manager for the Inter-national Baccalaureate Or-ganization in the Americas,says IB diploma programshere have the greatest pres-ence in California, Florida,and Texas schools, butthere are also many in theMidwest and other parts ofthe country.

“The biggestmisperception people haveabout the program is thatit’s a study abroad program.It’s not. It was started inSwitzerland for parentswho frequently transferredfrom one country to anotherand wanted a curriculumthat would be more inter-nationally accepted. Butwe’re in public schools inalmost every U.S. statenow,” says Ms. Duffy.

Unlike the CollegeBoard’s AP program, whichoffers single subject courses

and is still the most commonnationally, the lesser-knownInternational Baccalaureateprogram is more all-encom-passing in subject matter.

Ms. Duffy says it’s a morerigorous preparation for col-lege-level work, encouragesin-depth independent re-search, and teaches studentsto embrace a diverse world.

“It’s much more holisticthan a few AP classes hereand there,” she says.

The two-year IB curricu-lum, developed in 1968 atan international school inGeneva, is now offered in931 U.S. high schools—87percent of them publicschools—and dozens morehave begun the long certifi-cation process. The numberof IB schools around theworld exceeds 4,700, span-ning 150 countries, and isexpected to surpass 7,000 inthe next five years.

To earn an IB diploma,students must devote theirjunior and senior years tothe program, which requiresEnglish plus another lan-guage, math, science, socialscience, art, a course ontheory of knowledge, a4,000-word essay, oral pre-sentations and 150 recom-mended hours of communityservice.

“The essay is an inten-sive and extensive researchpiece on a topic of thestudent’s choice,” Ms.Hendricks says.

While some schools be-gin with the IB curriculumin elementary school, othersdon’t start it until middleschool or high school.

Critics say the IB programis not for every student, orevery community.

“I was one of a numberof middle school teachersin our district who believedin the IB program, butfought against it tooth andnail because it was toomuch to abide by the statemandates at the same timeas having to implement thisprogram,” says KellyOsterhout, who taughtmiddle school in the YorkCounty School District inVirginia for four years.

“We felt that thereweren’t enough resourcesavailable to teachers to doit the way it should be done,and we had to deal withparents who got upset aboutelements of the programlike teaching global toler-ance and respecting theopinions of others. Justmentioning the LGBTQmovement, for example,caused a stir.”

Teachers at her schoolvoted to get rid of the IBprogram at the middleschool level, she said, but itremains in place at the highschool level.

Some people feel un-comfortable with theprogram’s ties to the UnitedNations. The program re-ceived funding fromUNESCO from 1968 until1976 and continues to beassociated with the UnitedNations Economic and So-cial Council.

Others object to itscost—the organizationcharges $11,650 a year perschool, $172 per studentand $119 per exam—andsay it is neither as effectiveas the AP program nor likelyto reach as many students,since it’s too rigorous formost.

WASHINGTON, DC, July26, 2018 (AP): Nearly 6 in 10Hispanic adults have had a dif-ficult time communicating witha health care provider becauseof a language or cultural barrier,and when they do they oftenturn to outside sources for help,according to a new study con-ducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public AffairsResearch.

The survey finds that half ofthose who have faced thosebarriers turned to a family mem-ber or to another health careprovider for assistance. In addi-tion, more than 1 in 4 looked toa translator, public resources intheir community or onlinesources for help when they facedthose issues.

Antonio Torres, 53, of Or-lando, Florida, who is bilingualand legally blind, told The APhe regularly struggles to under-stand the medical terms used bydoctors and nurses.

“When I tell them I don’tunderstand them, they’ll bringsomeone over to speak to me inSpanish and I don’t understandthem, either,” said Torres, whois Puerto Rican and was raisedin New York. “We didn’t growup speaking that formal Span-ish, so I have no idea what theyare saying.”

At times, Torres said he evengets medicine with his namemisspelled on the bottle. “AndI don’t know if I’m taking mymedicine or someone else’s,”he said.

The language and culturalbarriers in health care for Latinosare something advocates havebeen pointing out for years.

In 2014, for example, the

TOLEDO, July 27, 2018:Lucas Metropolitan Hous-ing Authority (LMHA) andSherwin-Williams havekicked-off their secondSherwin-Williams “HomeWork” paint training pro-gram which began on July23 and ran through July 27.

This is the second of threetraining sessions offered byLMHA and Sherwin-Will-iams. The sessions are opento low-income residentswho participate in the Hous-ing Choice Voucher Pro-gram, who live in publichousing or who are residentsof Lucas County.

The “Home Work” pro-gram is a paint training andcommunity enrichmentprogram with the purposeof improving the quality oflife in low-income housingcommunities. This one-week course educates resi-dents on the importance of

proper home maintenanceand includes paint basics,as well as mold and leadcontamination—using HUDHealthy Home guidelines.Participants are trained onpreparing surfaces, patchingwalls, masking, applyingpaint with brushes and roll-ers, safety and problem solv-ing while on the job.

“Since news of the firstsession spread, we have got-ten calls from several con-tractors seeking candidatesfor job openings,” statedMartice Bishop, Section 3Compliance Coordinator forLMHA. “To date, three indi-viduals that were unem-ployed have been inter-viewed and one has beenoffered a job.” Fifteen peoplegraduated from session oneand 15 are enrolled in ses-sion 2.

Obama administration facedcriticism following the rolloutof the Spanish version of thefederal health care website,CuidadoDeSalud.gov. Thetranslations were so clunky andfull of grammatical mistakesthat critics say they must havebeen computer-generated. Thewebsite also translated “pre-mium” into “prima,” the Span-ish word more commonly usedto mean a female cousin amongMexican-Americans and Mexi-can immigrants.

Along with communicationchallenges, many Hispanics areconcerned about language orcultural accommodations forpeople in their community whoseek long-term care services.

Fewer than half say it wouldbe easy for older Latinos intheir area to find a nursing homeor assisted living facility withstaff that speaks their language,or to find a home health aidewho does. Even fewer—lessthan 3 in 10—say the sameabout finding long-term careproviders who can prepare thekind of food they are used to.Some have concerns about find-ing nursing homes and assisted-living facilities that will respecttheir religious or spiritual be-liefs, though fewer have thesame concern about homehealth aides.

Torres said he’s not confi-dent he’ll find a culturally sen-sitive nursing home when he’sgets older. “I’d rather just livealone and poison myself byaccident rather than stay in oneof those homes right now,” hesaid.

Like other older Americans,many Hispanics age 40 and

older expect to rely on govern-ment programs like Social Se-curity, Medicare and Medic-aid to pay for long-term careservices, even though Medi-care does not cover most nurs-ing care or home health aides.But only about 2 in 10 thinkany of these programs will stillbe providing at least the samelevel of benefits five years fromnow. Just 15 percent of olderHispanics are very confidentthey will be able to pay for theirown future long-term careneeds.

The survey also finds that alarge majority of older Hispan-ics are open to using at leastone type of telemedicine toreceive care, including phoneconsultations, text messagesor video services like Skype,although older Hispanics aresomewhat less likely than oth-ers in their age group to saythey’d be comfortable usingsome types of telemedicine.

Gabriel Vargas, 41, ofLancaster, South Carolina, whois from Veracruz, Mexico, saidhe felt these resources in hisarea already were helpingLatino residents. The growthof online options, he said, isbreaking down the stigma heldby Hispanics around regularcheckups and preventativecare.

“There’s a nonprofit grouphere that goes out of its way tohelp,” said Vargas, whose firstlanguage is Spanish. “Maybe10 years ago, it was tough. Buttoday I think it’s becomeeasier.”

“The Sherwin-WilliamsCo. has been great! Theyare very excited to see thenumber of individuals thatare interested in the pro-gram. Initially, we re-cruited for 20 spots and thewaiting list continues togrow,” stated Bishop.Sherwin-Williams is work-ing with graduates for jobplacement and will con-tinue to support them, afterthey graduate from the pro-gram, by giving them morethan $400 worth of paint-ing supplies to jump starttheir careers.

WASHINGTON, DC, 19VII 18 (AP): The Trump ad-ministration said Thursdaythat Somalis granted specialimmigration status in the U.S.can keep the designation,making them one of the fewgroups permitted to stay inthe U.S. under a program thathas allowed them to remainhere for years.

Somalia was first desig-nated for the special status in1991, following the collapseof the authoritarian Siad Barreregime, and the designationhad been extended in partbecause nationals feared re-turning because of the ongo-ing armed conflict there.

Homeland Security Sec-retary Kirstjen Nielsen citedthe armed conflict and otherextraordinary conditions insupporting the continuationof Somalia’s designation forabout 500 people.

But the administrationwill not take on new appli-cants, disappointing advo-cacy groups.

Those already with the sta-tus will be able to remain inthe U.S. and will be allowed towork through March 17, 2020.

Many Somalis have settledin Minnesota, which has thelargest Somali population inthe U.S. Community and im-migration advocates havesaid that returning to Somaliawould be a death sentence forsome and that it would sepa-rate families.

Democratic MinnesotaGov. Mark Dayton wrote aletter to Donald Trump onTuesday, urging him to ex-tend the special status.

Dayton’s letter said the condi-tions in Somalia are treacher-ous, and he pointed to a recentState Department advisory thattells people to avoid travelingto Somalia because of crime,terrorism and piracy. The advi-sory says those who do travel toSomalia should draft a will be-fore traveling, name a familymember to be a point of contactin the event of a hostage situa-tion and leave a DNA sample incase it is needed to identifyremains.

“Under those conditions, itwould be horribly ‘Un-Ameri-can’ to force innocent people toreturn to Somalia, to break upmany of their families, and toforgo their chances to live safeand decent lives,” Daytonwrote.

Members of Congress, in-cluding Democratic Sens. AmyKlobuchar and Tina Smith ofMinnesota, also wrote to thepresident, urging that the statusbe extended.

Advocates for Somali na-tionals who are living in theU.S. said Thursday they are re-lieved that about 500 Somaliswill be able to reregister to ex-tend their protected status for18 months, but they are disap-pointed the administrationdidn’t do more. The Minnesotachapter of the Council on Ameri-can-Islamic Relations said ifthe administration would havere-designated the status insteadof just extending it, then morethan 1,000 Somali nationalscould have enrolled.

The International RescueCommittee and Muslim Advo-cates also expressed disappoint-ment.

“It is not only a mistake, itis a death sentence,” MuslimAdvocates said in a statement.

Around 437,000 immi-grants from 10 countries havehad temporary protected sta-tus, a designation created in1990 to allow people fromcountries ravaged by naturaldisasters like earthquakes orman-made disasters like war tohave a short-term safe haven.

Those with it have gener-ally been able to work and,with permission, travel out-side the U.S. and return.

Countries are added to thelist as circumstances warrant,with renewals coming usu-ally around every 18 months.While some countries wereremoved, others have stayedon for years, which critics sayturns the program into defaultamnesty. Other countries thathad the status for long periodsof time—like El Salvador orHonduras—were cut off un-der Trump.

The protections werenever meant to be permanent.

Under Trump, the Depart-ment of Homeland Securityalso ended the program forSudan, Nicaragua, Nepal,and Haiti. Several groups aresuing to stay in the U.S.

Protections were extendedfor about 1,100 Yemenis and6,900 Syrians who alreadyhave them, but the adminis-tration has said it won’t takeon new applicants.

Trump has said he wants tocurtail legal immigration andhas been cracking down onundocumented immigration.

Forliti reported fromMinneapolis.

Trump administration will keep protectedstatus for current Somali applicants onlyBy COLLEEN LONG and AMY FORLITI, Associated Press

On a warm sunny summerevening, 20-year old OscarCordova got the boost heneeds to keep pursuing hislifelong goal in the fall: ascholarship from the SpanishAmerican Organization (SAO)to continue his studies atOwens Community College.

“I like math,” he said, cred-iting a Waite High Schoolteacher for sparking that love.

Cordova had his namecalled near home plate justbefore the Toledo Mud Henssquared off against the LehighValley Iron Pigs, hoping tohang onto first place in theirInternational League division,embroiled in a heated pen-nant race with their rival, theColumbus Clippers.

Cordova proudly waved agiant cardboard check like hehad just won the minor-leaguebaseball pennant. For anevening at least, the cheerswere for his accomplishmentsin the classroom and pursuit ofa higher education—just likea single and pursuit of a stolenbase would have drawn loudsupport from the Fifth ThirdField crowd for their favoriteMud Hens baseball player.

Cordova received an $862SAO scholarship to Owens,where he’ll finish hisassociate’s degree next year,then plans to transfer to theUniversity of Toledo to finishan education degree. He wantsto teach either middle-schoolor high school math, afterstruggling in the subject hisfreshman year. But then Mr.Jarvis entered his life.

“I wasn’t too good at maththat year. I had him for twoclasses and one thing he al-ways made sure was no one leftthe classroom without under-standing the subject,”Cordova explained. “He basi-cally worked one-on-one withus through the first period andthen the second, he made sureeveryone had it put down andeveryone was going homewith the subject imprinted intheir mind and he just did awonderful job of what he wasdoing. Made me love math.That’s the year I decided I wasgoing to teach seventh throughfreshman math.”

Cordova now hopes to in-spire his future math studentsthe same way Mr. Jarvis in-spired him to do his best inmath.

“Makes you want to do thesame for other students aswell,” he said. “I want to helpthem out to the point wherethey feel confident in the sub-ject to where they’ll want toteach it.”

But she found a home inLourdes University and a loveof Toledo, so she decided toset down roots to finish hereducation when the family

picked and moved again toVirginia. The nursing majorpicked up a $1,000 scholar-ship during the pregame cer-emony.

“This just allows me tocontinue my career, to con-tinue pursuing my dreams ofbecoming a nurse,” she said.“A couple years ago when Iwas applying to college, it waspossible because of economicfunds and this all just makes ithappen again. Every year thatI get support just means a lot tome.”

Like Cordova, Ms.Yupanqui has chosen a careerpath where she can pay it for-ward in life.

“I have found that givingback to my community is whatreally fulfills me, so I hope towork with minority commu-nities, using my bilingualskills and things like that toreally serve people that areunderserved,” she said.

• Stephanie Martínez, 35,received a $1,000 scholarshipto continue her studies in busi-ness. She hopes to one dayopen her own business or workin risk management. Ms.Martinez works at the LucasCounty auto title office inSylvania, where she and herkids also live while she at-tends Lourdes University.

“It helps me a lot. I havethree kids. I’m just paying forschool myself, along with stu-dent loans,” she said.

Her higher education isshowing “a lot” to her kids, asthey work to graduate fromhigh school. Her children are13, 12, and 10—and about toenter the toughest phase oftheir education. The familyfrequently finds itself study-ing around the same table eachevening.

“To go for your dreams andgoals. I’ve been a student for awhile, so I want them to see mefinish,” said Ms, Martinez, whois only two semesters awayfrom graduation. “If you’re go-ing to start something, alwaysfinish it.”

• Nalleli Balderas, 18, is aWaite High School graduatewho will be a freshman at theUniversity of Toledo in the falland major in biomedical sci-ences, with the intent of be-come a surgeon one day andwork in California or Florida.She received a $500 scholar-ship from Latins United.

“It’s not very typical to seea lot of diversity, especially inthe medical field. Being awoman, a Latina, it’s veryimportant for me to show thatI’m not just a stereotype,” saidMs. Balderas. “I want to beable to be the whole package.”

Hers is a success story thatinvolves perseverance andfacing adversity head-on, bydeciding to make a life changeand stick with it.

“I didn’t start off very suc-cessful in high school, so Iended up transferring away anddidn’t start at Waite,” she ad-mitted. “But I promised my-self that even though I didn’thave a good start that I wasgoing to have a good ending.When I was younger, I knewthat even if I wasn’t the smart-est, if I worked hard I could be

bigger. It was very importantto my parents—who didn’thave many opportunities—and important to me to makethem proud.”

Ms. Balderas lists her fa-ther as her inspiration to dobetter going forward in life,because of the many sacri-fices he has made for his fourdaughters, the oldest of whomalso attends college. Her fa-ther accompanied her to thepre-game scholarship cer-emony.

“It means a lot. I don’t wantto cry,” she said of her father’spresence and continued sup-port between tears. “It’s go-ing to help a lot. It motivatesme and shows me that if Idon’t work hard, then I can’ttake care of him.”

“I’m so proud. That’s whyI work so hard, give these guysopportunity. I never had thoseopportunities. That’s why Iwant to make sure they get theopportunity I never had, opena lot of doors I never got toopen,” said her father EliBalderas, who has worked hisway up to a supervisor role athis current employer. “Myparents came up from Mexico,never really had no mother,no dad.”

Nalleli’s dad stood proudnear home plate, taking avideo on his phone of hisdaughter receiving a giantmock check as she tried des-perately to hold back tears ofjoy.

“I’ve always wanted themto go to college. That’s good,because most of the kidsgraduate and that’s it, youknow, they want to stop there,”he said. “Not my daughters.They wanted to go to collegeand I kept pushing them, giv-ing them support. They didgood. They surprised me, didreal good. They got scholar-ships, helping them out a lot.I’m real proud of them. I’mjust here to help her howeverI can.”

• 19-year old GabrielleO’Donnell of Holland is oneof six students to receive a$500 scholarship from LatinsUnited this year.

“A lot less stress and I cango back to school not havingto worry about money forbooks,” she said with a laugh.

The Springfield HighSchool graduate is a sopho-more at the University of To-ledo, where she is treasurer ofthe Latino Student Union(LSU), and majoring in hu-man resource managementand organizational leader-ship. Ms. O’Donnell plans tobe a talent recruiter.

The baby of the family “bya long shot,” she has an oldersister, 35, who works forProMedica as a nurse and abrother, 26, who works for aconstruction company. Heranticipation made her a bitjumpy before the check pre-sentation.

“It feels cool. I’m a littlenervous—I’m going to be onthe big screen,” she said witha laugh.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.,July 20, 2018 (AP): Repub-lican Congressman StevePearce of New Mexico hasintroduced a bill aimed atgiving Hispanic familiesstronger measures to reviewclaims of lost lands underthe 1848 Treaty ofGuadalupe Hidalgo—thetreaty that ended the U.S.-Mexican War.

Meanwhile, New MexicoAttorney General HectorBalderas announced thisweek he is seeking to void a2003 land transfer from ahistoric Hispanic land grantin New Mexico to a Colo-rado group on grounds itwas illegal. The land grant isalso protected by the treaty.

Here’s why the Treaty ofGuadalupe Hidalgo remainsa hot topic in the U.S. South-west more than 160 yearsafter the war ended:

THE WARAfter the end of the U.S.-

Mexican War, the UnitedStates pledged in the treatyto respect private land hold-ings, including land grantsmade under the Spanish andMexican governments. Theland grants were made tofamilies who would auto-matically be granted U.S.citizenship in new territo-ries gained by the U.S.

However, the U.S. gov-ernment didn’t protect manyof those grants in NewMexico, Arizona, Colorado,and California and courtshave routinely turned awaycomplaints made by dis-placed Hispanic families.Judicial proceedings wereconducted in English, mak-ing it hard for Spanish-speaking Hispanic familiesto fight court battles.

White settlers began toencroach on Hispanic landsand local and federal au-thorities did little to protectHispanic residents from landseizures.

THE FORGOTTENPEOPLE

During the Depression,Mexican-American scholarGeorge I. Sánchez tourednorthern New Mexico todocument how descendantsof the original Hispanic fami-lies were faring. He foundthat the families had beendisplaced from political lifeand struggled with povertyafter decades of land sei-

zures. Sánchez wrote his find-ings in the 1940 book “For-gotten People: A Study ofNew Mexicans,” which hasbeen credited for help launch-ing the ethnic studies move-ment on college campuses.

More than 20 years later,Texas-born activist ReiesLópez Tijerina began orga-nizing heirs to Spanish andMexico land grants to de-mand the return of stolen land.On June 5, 1967, he and agroup of armed men raided acourthouse, shot andwounded a state police of-ficer and jailer, beat a deputy,and took the sheriff and areporter hostage.

The men then escaped tothe Kit Carson National For-est, generating excitementamong supporters and fearthroughout others, while theNew Mexico National Guardchased them in the remotemountain hamlet of TierraAmarilla.

Tijerina was arrested butultimately acquitted ofcharges directly related tothe raid. He eventually spentabout two years in prison forfederal destruction of prop-erty.

NEW POLITICALFORCE

Since the 1967 raid, newlyenergized land grant heirshave sued the federal gov-ernment and private compa-nies to recapture holding il-legal taken over the years.Heirs in Arizona, NewMexico and Colorado alsohave formed nonprofits tohelp oversee land grants soranching families could raisebeef on the same lands astheir families did for centu-ries prior.

Ranchers have especiallyclashed with the U.S ForestService over grazing rightsand private landowners overwater access. The tensionswere portrayed in the 1988film “The Milagro BeanfieldWar” directed by RobertRedford.

Today, heirs organizearound their historic landgrants and put pressure onelected officials to pass mea-sures to reinforce protectsoutlined in the Treaty ofGuadalupe Hidalgo.
