“Are we good neighbors”
Letters: Brukshire Addiction, Gas Station/Cafe and Poteet Elementary school
Access “Are We Good Neighbors,” an Arte Público Digital Humanities project and prepare a 2-3 page, double-spaced report on three complaint letters that appear in the site. This required report is due on March 10. The staff at Arte Publico included in this resource copies of letters by Mexicans alleging discrimination sent to the civil rights leader Alonso S. Perales in the 1940s and that appeared in his book Are We Good Neighbors (1948).
The report should briefly address the site and identify Perales, his publication, the writers of the letters, the place where the alleged discrimination occurred and other aspects of the circumstance surrounding the case.
The main body of your report should identify common threads or patterns in the letters, for instance, did you limit yourself to acts of discrimination in employment, public service, and/or housing or did you select cases involving veterans, women, or migratory workers.
Your concluding statement should address the veracity of the claim by the complainants.
