Carr, President's Committee on Civil Rights, 1712 G. Street NW, Room 208 Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Carr: It affords me pleasure to send you herewith attached a br[handwritten:i]ef [brief] statement on the problem of discrimination in employment as it affects the Latin American or Mexican throughout the Southwest from Texas to California. More than twenty years of work in behalf of the Latin American in the Southwest has convinced me that at the base of the various forms of discrimination suffered by them in the political, social, economic and educational fields, lies the economic. This is, in my humble opinion, the real root of the evil. Refusal to give the Latin American citizen equal opportunities for employment and adva[n]ement [advancement], and the denial of the same wage for the same type of work to members of this group have condemned this segment of our population to a substandard level of living that forms the basis for all other forms of discrimination by which the economic exploitation itself is justified. Briefly, the Mexican, be he an American citizen or not, is generally refused employment except in [strikeout] certain types of undesirable, unskilled jobs. Furthermore, once employed, he is refused advancement, generally speaking, regardless of his ability. Thus his income is restricted and held below that of the average citizen. The result, he and his family are forced to live in homes that lack every comfort and sanitary device, they are ill dressed, ill cared for,a nd ill fed. They are unable to keep their children in school. Consequently their physical appearance and their education are sub-standard. The commun[i]ty [community] concludes that in a country of equal opportunities a group that remains in his condition is inferior, consequently an inferior wage and an inferior field of advancement are justified. S[i]ncerely [Sincerely] yours, Professor of History Carr, Robert K.

Perales, one of the greatest Latino civil rights leaders ever, was one of the first Latino public intellectuals to master the use of the media in pioneering efforts to track and report on discrimination. Over the course of forty years of activism, during the 1920s to 1960, Perales wrote a weekly column in San Antonio’s La Prensa newspaper, the periodical with the greatest and most extensive circulation; had a radio program; published books; and maintained an unheard of level of correspondence, writing daily as many as ten letters to the authorities, civil rights activists and just everyday folk. One campaign he maintained over many years was his use of the periodicals and radio program to invite victims and witnesses of discrimination to document the cases in letter form and send them to him at his San Antonio law office. He would abstract these testimonies in his newspaper columns and radio programs and use them as evidence to demand corrective action and policy changes from government at every level. In the Alonso S. Perales archive hundreds of these letters have been preserved; many of them were written by hand by working-class people who were most likely to suffer the indignities and denial of services because they were Mexicans or Latinos. Because La Prensa and Perales’ network was so broad, the letters came not only from throughout Texas and the Southwest but from as far north as North Dakota and east as the Carolinas. The record is diverse in documenting everything from barbers refusing to cut hair to schools that would not allow Mexican families to register their children. The Perales collection of correspondence is one of the very few documentary sources that precisely date, locate and describe the instances of segregation, violence and racism experienced by Latinos over a long period of time: names are named, addresses noted and alleged crimes publicized; in most cases, however, these acts were committed with impunity, but the informal history and conscience of la raza was recording them. And now, the researchers of posterity can study and reference them in writing a truer history of the United States, and communities can become aware of these acts in developing laws and policy. Alonso S. Perales, uno de los líderes latinos más importantes de derechos civiles, fue uno de los primeros intelectuales públicos en dominar el uso de los medios de comunicación y pionero en dedicar esfuerzos a rastrear y denunciar instancias de discriminación. A lo largo de cuarenta años de activismo, durante las décadas de 1920 hasta 1960, Perales escribió columnas semanales en el periódico La Prensa de San Antonio, el diario con la mayor y más extensa circulación de ese período; además tuvo un programa de radio; publicó libros; y mantuvo una extensa correspondencia, escribiendo hasta diez cartas diarias dirigidas a autoridades, activistas de derechos civiles y gente en general. Perales impulsó una campaña, que mantuvo durante muchos años, donde a través de publicaciones en periódicos y su programa de radio invitaba a las víctimas y testigos de actos de discriminación a documentar estos casos en forma de cartas y a enviárselas a su despacho de abogados de San Antonio, Texas. Perales resumía estos testimonios en sus columnas periodísticas y programas de radio y los utilizaba como prueba para exigir medidas correctivas y cambios de política al gobierno a todo nivel. En el archivo de Alonso S. Perales se conservan cientos de estas cartas; muchas de ellas escritas a mano provenientes en su mayoría de la clase trabajadora que tenía más probabilidades de sufrir humillaciones y negación de servicios por ser mexicanos o latinos. Como la red de La Prensa y de Perales eran tan amplias, las cartas vinieron no solo desde Texas y del suroeste sino también desde lugares tan al norte como Dakota del Norte y del este como Carolina del Sur y Carolina del Norte. El material es variado y documenta desde barberos que se negaban a cortar el pelo hasta escuelas que no permitían a las familias mexicanas matricular a sus hijos. La colección de correspondencia de Perales es una de las escasas fuentes documentales que datan, localizan y describen con precisión los casos de segregación, violencia y racismo sufridos por los latinos durante un largo periodo de tiempo: se citan nombres, se anotan direcciones y se publicitan presuntos delitos; en la mayoría de los casos, sin embargo, estos actos se cometían con impunidad, pero la historia informal y la conciencia de la raza los registraban. Y ahora, los investigadores de la posteridad pueden estudiarlos y hacer referencia a ellos al escribir una historia más verdadera de Estados Unidos, y las comunidades pueden tomar conciencia de estos actos al momento de elaborar leyes y políticas.

I told him to go ahead and continue as Director of Publicity, but he says he cannot do so until you and the San Antonio gang reach a friendly settlement. They did not like that part of your article which says that the hydra tried to bite again - this time in Hebbronville. They say you are rubbing it into the San Antonio Council. Personally, I think it is just an excuse for not cooperating with you, the real reason being that they lost the presidency. If you definitely decide to hold the Special Convention in San Antonio on the 22nd instant, please telegraph me on receipt of this if you have not already written me about it.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Noviembre 27 de 1946 Sr. David E. Ortiz Uvalde, Texas. Muy estimado Sr. Ortiz, Con toda oportunidad recibí su atenta carta fechada el 14 del presente mes y créame que siendo demasiado lo que les ha ocurrido. Tengo una lista coo de diez lugarez en Uvalde en que se niega servicio a nuestra Raza. Entre estos tengo el nombre de Hangar VII Grill, 223 N. Getty St. En el mismo, sin duda. El día 13 de April de 1946 se le intentó negar servicio allí a varias damas latinoamericanas que asistieron a una Convencioón de Padres y Maestros, en Uvalde. El propietario las dijo la misma cosa que les dijo a ustedes: que perdería su clientela, etc. Por fin, decidioó servirles, pero les recomendoó que pidieran a la Convencioón de Padres y Maestros que protestara o hiciera algo para evitar que en Uvalde se tratara así a los mexicanos. Parece ser que el propietario (creo que se llama W. W. Moore) quiere aceptar y servir a los nuestros, pero tiene miedo perder su clientela anglosajona. Por supuesto, ya sabemos que es un sentir general entre los sajones el no aceptarnos iguales y el no querer asociarse con nosotros. Nosotros seguimos trabajando con empeño, y Dios mediante, algún día veremos arreglando este asunto para bien de nuestra Nación. No quitaremos el dedo del renglón hasta arreglarlo. Mientras tanto, vamos a seguir mejorando nuestra condición, vamos a procurar elevarnos en todo sentido lo más posible. En otros términos, quierannos o no los anglosajones, vamos a progresar pésele .a quien le pese. Quiero que no hagan nada ustedes sobre el incidente que les pasó, hasta que reciban nuevas noticias mías. Déjenme ver que puedo hacer yo. Voy a mover ciertos resortes, y luego les avisaré. Les recomiendo lean mi artículo en LA PRENSA cada domingo, titulado: ARQUITECTOS DE NUESTROS PROPIOS DESTINOS. Los felicito porque se organizaron dentro de la Legión Americana. Somos "buddies", pues yo pertenezco a [handwritte: al] Alamo Post No.2.  Díganme: Hay "Posts" integrados por anglosajones en Uvalde? Intentaron ustedes pertenecer a dichos "Posts" antes de organizarse por separado? Los aceptaron? Si hay dichos "Posts", favor de darme el numero de cada "Post" (tambien el bombre) y el nombre del Comandante. Quizá ellos nos puedan ayudar a solucionar el problema de la discriminación en Uvalde. Voy a dirigirme también al "State Commander". Los saludo afectuosamente, su amigo sincero y seguro servidor que mucho los estima. P.D. Les recomiendo un librito que se llama "Civics Catech[strikeout] [handwritten: Catechism] on the Rights and Duties of American Citizens". Vale 25¢ el ejemplar. Se los puedo conseguir aquí si gustan.
