Texas Connection A PBS documentary video uses the U.S. Supreme Court case Hernandez v. Texas as the backdrop to tell the story of the Mexican-American fight for civil rights in Texas. The site includes educator lessons and resources. The Texas Archive of the Moving Image has several resources that depict racial themes in Texas history: Tours of the Butter Krust Bread Bakery in Austin appear to be segregated by race. This is most likely a reflection of the schools or groups attending rather than the bakery’s policies. This footage documents the Texas-Mexican Presbytery, which was established by the Synod of Texas of the Presbyterian Church. The organization supported missionary work and established churches among Mexican-American communities in Texas. The organization was dissolved in 1955, when the Mexican-American congregations were integrated into existing presbyteries. This film was produced by the government and gives a rosy view of the internment of Japanese- and German-Americans at Crystal City, Texas. These archival films show Japanese women who married American soldiers in the years during and after World War II. The G.I. Fiancées Act passed by Congress in 1946 allowed servicemen to bring their Japanese wives home. It provided an important exception to the overall ban on Japanese immigration imposed by the Johnson-Reed Act from 1924 until 1952. The Texas Archive of the Moving Image offers educational resources on how to incorporate these films into your curriculum. More details can be found within this printable promotional brochure.
