Details:
Speakers: José Garcia and Linda Garcia
Linda and Jose were each raised by Mexican American parents who grew up in both urban and rural settings, and who themselves were children of Mexican immigrants.Their deep understanding of the Spanish American experience—from the historical beginnings with the 1541 Coronado Expedition to the Fabled Land of Cibola (a legendary destination kept alive within Omaha’s urban culture) to the experiences of the century-and-a-half movement of Mexican migrant and railroad workers brought into Nebraska—fuels their Chautauqua presentation. The blending of Jose’s visual historical presentation and Linda’s oral storytelling creates a familiarity born within the movement of peoples between cultures and social environments.
