4 июл 1851 г. - Lynching of Josefa

Описание:

Lynching of Josefa: real forces behind this so-called ‘manifest destiny.’ We will see how half of Mexico was ripped off by trickery and violence. We will see how Chicanos became a colonized people. In the process of being colonized, we were robbed of land and other resources. We were murdered and lynched, like Josefa in Downieville, California on July 4, 1851. But we resisted, with our lives. And we endured.” (pg 23)

“She placed the noose around her neck. When they called for her last words, she declared, fearless, “I would do the same again if I was so provoked.”
