Mexica Movement met with ceo of American Latino Museum on Friday 12/6/13.
When we initially rsvp’d to attend the townhall we were disrespected and denied entrance to attend. After a few emails, we agreed to meet with them in person, and not by phone as they initially proposed. We met with Estuardo Rodriguez, the CEO of the museum and explained to him in much detail why we were not Latinos and how this museum was genocidal. After an hour we came to the agreement that he would allow us the last words of the townhall, all 5 minutes of it. We agreed. The townhall was mainly made up of vendido academics and artists who displayed no interest in representing our people. Known ex-chicanos were proud of embracing the concept of latino. Stay tuned for the video to come. The campaign continues. Check out the report written by the American Latino Museum yourself:

The Mystic massacre (May 26th 1637) was the worst massacre in the genocide known as the Pequot War. White Americans killed 400 to 900 Pequots, mostly women, children and old men.

“One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting.
In fact, indigenous people have offered such a model; since 1970 they have marked the fourth Thursday of November as a Day of Mourning in a spiritual/political ceremony on Coles Hill overlooking Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, one of the early sites of the European invasion of the Americas.”

“Let us recognize that accounts of the first Thanksgiving are mythological, and that the holiday is actually a grotesque celebration of our arrogant ethnocentrism built on genocide.”
