Description:
These films, made in the 1920s by Antonio Rodríguez Fuentes, a long-time resident of Corpus Christi, are likely among the first produced by a Mexican-American filmmaker focusing on the Mexican-American community in Texas. The home movie footage documents Fuentes' family and local parades featuring Mexican-American civil-rights groups like the Order of Sons of America and the Obreros y Obreras. Antonio and his wife Josefina were deeply involved in early Corpus Christi Mexican-American community organizations and their associated social circles. The couple was also connected to many local figures, including Andres De Luna, a founder of the League of United Latin American Citizens. This collection is now held by TAMI through the Mary and Jeff Bell Library at Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
