MACRI TALK - Patriots from the Barrio

MACRI TALK - Patriots from the Barrio

Join us for a special Veterans’ Day MACRI Talk about Company E, 141st Infantry, the only all Mexican American army unit in World War II, featuring author Dave Gutierrez.

As a child, Dave Gutierrez heard stories about his cousin Ramon, who served in World War II. Gutierrez later found out that Ramon was part of Company E, 141st Infantry, a unit composed entirely of Mexican Americans. Drawing from extensive archival and oral history research with veterans and family members, Patriots from the Barrio tells the story of Company E’s members during the war.

📍This MACRI Talk will stream live on Tuesday, November 11, at 6 PM Central on MACRI's Facebook at https://bit.ly/FB-MACRI and YouTube at https://bit.ly/YT-MACRI.
