(In Spanish) The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 and opponents of the regime of Porfirio Diaz organized in various parts of the country to fight, first against the Mexican Army, and later among themselves for control of the country and its government. In northern Mexico, adjacent to the United States, the various revolutionary factions sought the official support of the United States government and monetary and material support from private residents. So the border was a focus of fighting and organizing. Some of the narrators in this series spent time in that area and describe their experiences.

The 1960s was a time of change. The Black civil right movement, opposition to the war in Vietnam, student protests for more relevant classes, farm workers organizing unions, New Mexican farmers asserting ownership of public land, hippies advocating love were among the agents of change. In the midst of all of this, Mexican American students were going to college in larger numbers than ever before, many as the first one in their families to do so, and wondering where they fit into all of these changes. Drawing on the example of earlier Mexican American activists, such as those who organized to secure justice for the young men accused of the Sleepy Lagoon murders, or elected Edward Roybal to the Los Angeles City Council, they began to organize among themselves.
