[End header] L. do [abbreviatio: Licenciado] Alonzo Perales Muy Senor Mio Y Amigo: Deseo pedirle su consejo de como proceder en referencia a un incidente que dias pasados les acontecio a dos de nuestros miembros, que ambos son veteranos de la contienda pasada. Sucede que acudieron al Grill No. 7, un restaurant que esta situado cerca del teatro "El Lasso", con el fin de que les sirvieran dos tazas de Cafe. Una vez que se habian sentado cerca del Bar uno de los sirvientes vino y les informo que lo sentia pero que a los Mexicanos no se les servia alli, siendo que perderia toda su clientela Anglo-Sajona. Que si querian detras tenia un buen lugar donde les podrian servir. Como Ud. debe de comprender esta es una humillación de las mas degradantes no solamente para nuestros miembros sino para todos aquellos que somos de estirpe Mexicanos. [right marginal note:a #] Durante la emergencia todos combatimos por los mismos ideales y creemos este acto es robarnos de nuestros derechos que con nuestra sangre obtuvimos. Agradeceria obtener una pronta contestación para asi obrar como Ud. me indique. Sin otro asunto de momento a que referirme entre tanto me suscribo como Su Afmo.[abbreviation: afectísimo] Atto.

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.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. THE STATE OF TEXAS, COUNTY OF BEXAR "My name is Dionicio Mendez Ortiz; I was born in Lockhart, Caldwell County, Texas; I am 19 years of age; I enlisted in the Army of the United States on April 1943; I attended the public schools at Lockhart and went as high as the fourth grade; I have lived practically all my life at Lockhart. "On Wednesday, December 1st 1943, at about 2:30 P.M., I approached a barber shop located at 111 San Antonio Street in Lockhart and saw a colored boy shining shoes; I was accompanied by Eron Mendez, who was also born and reared at Lockhart, and I entered the barber shop for the purpose of getting my shoes shined; I was wearing the uniform of a Private in the United States Army, Medical Corps; the colored boy told me that he could not shine my shoes, I asked him why, and he said he could not tell me and for me to talk to the boss. The owner was cutting the hair to a customer and I asked him why I could not get my shoes shined in his barber shop. He stated that he could not permit me to have my shoes shined, but he would not give me any specific reason; then, he grabbed a hold of my coat by the chest with one hand and he doubled up his fist with the other and began pushing me backwards, so I decided to leave the place. I then went to the Court House to complain to the Sheriff, because I had been directed to do so by the local Draft Board. Inasmuch as the Sheriff was not in at the time, I told my cousin, Eron Mendez, to go with me to a nearby restaurant to drink a cup of coffee. When we entered the South Cafe, which is located in the Court House Square, we sat by the Counter and waited a little while to be served. As one of the waitresses passed in front of us, I told her, "We want two cups of coffee, please", she said that she could not serve us there; then, we left the restaurant and went to the Court House to find the Sheriff, who had already arrived. It appears that the Sheriff had already been advised as to the purpose of my visit, because when I entered his office he told me, "you were not born in that restaurant," I told him that I just wanted a cup of coffee and he then got up and slapped me and told me to get out. "I was deeply wounded because of the fact that I had been twice humiliated while wearing a soldier's uniform."

Gonzales, (Signed) Notary Public in and for Bexar County, Texas My commission expires 6-1-45.
