I finally have time to continue my research for my manuscript! It seem that every time when I’m searching the local newspapers, I always come around great photos or articles of the history of Mexicans on the Oxnard Plain. This time when I was searching for articles on “school segregation,” I came around the following photos on local Braceros during the final years of the Bracero Program.

It seems that every time I return to teaching I have no time for writing. But, I have been thinking about writing. I have outlined the following new blog’s articles; Pachuca/os: The Criminalization of Mexican Youth and Education Yes! Segregation No!: Soria, et al. v. Oxnard School District Board of Trustees. Both are connected to my research. My goal is to have them up sometime in May!

On the other note, I’m employed for another year at BSGU! Now, I’m counting the days until the semester ends!
