The waitress came and told us what the Cashier had told her. The two Anglo-Americans told the waitress that if we Latin Americans were not served, they would not eat there either.

On Friday, May 3, 1946, about 7:30 P.M., Mr. Gilberto G. Gonzalez and I went into the Spanish Village Cafe at 327 Blum St. in San Antonio, Texas, and as we were going in, a lady who appeared to be the manager or proprietress, told us that she did not have any room for us. Whereupon Mr. Gilberto G. Gonzalez asked her what she meant by that, whether she meant that she did not serve Mexicans there, and she replied that was exactly what she wanted to tell us. Mr. Gonzalez told her: "I think you are getting a little too big", and she answered: "I want to be that way". We then left the place. There were only two or three people being served in the Cafe at the time, and there were plenty of tables available. Mr. Gonzalez and I were well dressed and we deported [sic: comported] ourselves like gentlemen when we went into said Cafe.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF BEXAR BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority in and for said County, State of Texas, this day personally came and appeared MACARIO GARCIA, to me well known, and who, after being by me duly sworn, did depose and say: My name is Macario Garcia. I am 26 years of age, single, and I reside at 1908 Franklin Avenue, in Houston, Texas. I served in the United States Army two years, ten months, and twenty eight days, eleven months and six days of which I served overseas. On August 23, 1945 President Harry S. Truman bestowed upon me the Congressional Medal of Honor. On October 10, 1945, about 11:15 P.M., I went into the Oasis Cafe in Richmond, Fort Bend County, Texas, and I sat at the counter and ordered a cup of coffee. One of the waitresses asked me what I wanted and I told her that I wanted a cup of coffee. She then said to me: "I cannot serve you", and she walked away. I remained sitting at the counter. In about a minute she returned to where I was and I asked her why she could not serve me, and she replied that because Mexicans were not served at that place. She walked away again. Then her husband, came to me and asked me what seemed to be the trouble. I replied: "Nothing that I know of. I asked the lady why she could not serve me a cup of coffee". He then said to me: "Well, she told you why, so there is the door", and he pointed to the door, meaning for me to get out. I stood up. There was a sugar bowl on the counter and what he had told me made me so angry that I pushed the sugar bowl off the counter. It fell behind the counter. Then he came from behind the counter to where I was and started to seize me by the left arm to put me out. I shoved him off with my left hand and told him not to touch me, and to stay away from me, that I was telling him that for his own benefit. When he tried to get closer to me I picked up an empty water glass and threw it at him, hitting him on the chest. The glass fell and broke. Then he said: "You think you are smart, eh? I'll fix you up", and he went behind the counter. When he was standing behind the counter I threw another empty water glass. He ducked and the glass went and broke a glass of wine. The reason I threw the second glass at him was that I thought he was going to get something to hit me with. A customer who was there then came behind and made a pass at me with a baseball bat. I dodged the blow and he struck the wall. I asked him if he too wanted to fight me and he did not say anything, but he turned the bat lose and it fell to the floor. There were two sailors in the place and they came and stood between me and the cafe manager. I forgot to say that before the two sailors interceded, the Cafe Manager had thrown an empty water glass at me. I dodged it and it went and broke a window glass. When the sailors got between us we stopped throwing things at each other. That is all there was to it. I walked out of the place and left. No woman present was thrown anything at or struck by anybody. Of this I am sure. Charges of aggravated assault have been filed against me at Richmond, Texas, alleging that I struck a woman in the place, but said charges are unfounded, as I did nothing of the kind. I was wearing the uniform of the United States Army at the time. I was born in Villa de Castaño, Coahuila, Mexico, and I was a citizen of Mexico when I joined the United States Army.

Railroad Co. for the past four years. I am 38 years of age. I served in the U.S. Armed Forces three years and four months. I saw action in the Rhineland and Central Europe. On Thursday Evening April 5th, 1951, I entered the Rose Cafe, in Alpine, Texas. I sat at the counter awaiting service and noticed the waiter, who was apparently of German descent, ignored my request for service. Finally, I called his attention to the fact that I needed to be served. He in turn became very irritated and his face became very red. He shouted to me and asked me to repeat what I had first said. I politely answered him, "Can I have some service?" At this point he became furious for some reason and proceeded to order me out of his place in a very rude manner and angrily pointed to the door. He kept shouting, "There is the door, there is the door." Before I could organize myself and get my bearings and bring myself to the realization that obviously he had a dislike for people of Mexican origin he ran to the back of the counter and got a big club and threatened to hit me if I did not get up and leave. As I attempted in vain to get a word in edgewise and apologize and explain that I did not mean to offend him or hurt his feeling as was only interested in buying a five cent cup of coffee, my effort proved useless. He reached a point of such excitement that he could hardly talk. He did not strike me however, Whereupon I picked up my hat and calmly left his place of business. FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. THE STATE OF TEXAS, COUNTY OF BEXAR My name is Perfecto Solis, Jr. I am a native of Laredo, Texas. At present, I am attending the Law School at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Bexar Couty, Texas. I was in the United States Army during World War II. I served in the European Theater, and I was in combat for a period of nine months. I was severely wounded and was evacuated to the United States for hospitalization. I am now receiving compensation in the amount of 100% for total permanent disability. I am married to the former Hope Sachtleven. She is a native of Hackensack, New Jersey. She is a registered nurse. I met her in the Army and married her after I returned to the United States from the European Theater. One of my wife's patients recommended the Burkshire Addition, located at 4220 Zarzamora Street, as a good place where we could purchase a home. Subsequently, we saw it advertised in a newspaper as being an addition for veterans. On Saturday, April 10, A.D. 1948, my wife and I went to see the homes in that addition and, after seeing the model homes, spoke to one of the salesmen. At first, the salesman told us he could not obtain a home for us for a period of from three to six months. Subsequently, he stated, however, that he remembered of a home which had not been purchased, because the loan had not been approved and that he believed he could obtain this place for us within a period of three weeks. He then took us in his car to visit the homes, and we decided to attempt to negotiate the deal. We then returned to his office, which is located on the addition itself, and he started filling out the papers in connection with the purchase. When he asked me my name, and i told him that it was Solis, he stated that he was sorry but that he could not sell it to us because of a restrictive clause against the purchase or use by Latin-Americans. My wife, who comes from the East, was not able to understand this restriction, but I told the salesman that I was not surprised that these restrictive clauses against Latin-Americans in general, and veterans in particular, seem to be quite common around here. We then left the office. Perfecto Solis, Jr. Subscribed and Sworn to before me on this 29th day of April, A.D. 1948. Given under my hand and seal of office.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF BEXAR Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Carmen Celestino, who being by me duly sworn upon oath deposes and says: My name is Carmen Celestino. I am 20 years of age and single. I reside at 419 South Pinto Street, in San Antonio, Texas. I was born and reared in San Antonio, Texas, and I am a graduate of San Fernando Parochial School of this city. I attended Incarnate Word College for a period of two years. My father was the late Flavio Celestino. My mother is Mrs. Justa Celestino. In December, 1942 I made application to enter the School of Nursing Hotel Dieu, El Paso, Texas. With my application I sent a transcript of my school credits, a picture of myself and a deposit fee of $5.00. All these were sent about one month before the classes scheduled to begin in January 1943. Somehow my X-ray report did not reach there on time and I was notified by telegram that I was not accepted for admission to that class. In the meantime Sister Paula, Director of said Institution, kept corresponding with me and advised me to wait for the June, 1943 class. During the month of March I received a letter stating that my former application had been accepted for the coming class whihc [which] was to start on June 14, 1943. In April, 1943 I was notified that I had fulfilled all the necessary requirements and that I would be expected to report at said School on June 14, 1943. Accordingly, I reported there on said date. I arrived there about 10:30 A.M. I asked for Sister Paula and the lady I addressed happened to be Sister Paula. She told me to wait on the porch as she was busy carrying out a mattress. I waited there from 10:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Finally she came out and asked us to come into her private office. I say us because there was another girl there waiting also since about 8:30 A.M. She was an applicant from Las Vegas, New Mexico and her name was Virginia Ashe. When we went in Sister Paula said to us: "This is an American Institution for American girls. Since you are Mexicans you should apply for admission to another hospital where they ad- [admit] Mexicans." We ere dumbfounded and tears came to our eyes, when she say this she said how sorry she was to have to tell us this, but that it was terrible the way Mexicans were treated in El Paso, and that through references received she knew that we came from fine families and she did not want us to be treated thus. She stated that if she herself were a Mexican she would not stay in Hotel Dieu Hospital. She said that we still had a chance to apply to another school where there would be no racial discrimination, whatsoever, and that she would advise us to do so immediately so that we could get in during this summer. After this se [she] said: "Follow me and I will show you to your room where you can stay until you decide what to do", and she left us there. Virginia and I decided to return home. Before doing so, however, I spoke with Sister Pauls [Paula] on the telephone and told her that I was leaving for home, in view of what she had said to us, and that if I had known this beforehand I would not have made the trip to El Paso, whereupon she stated that to have written it down in paper would have been rather embarrassing and that she thought it best to tell it to us personally.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. [handwritten: Jan. 26- 1944] Greyhound Bus stopped at Dilly, Texas for a 20 minute res period, which we took advantage of at approximately 10: P.M. on January 23, 1944. Upon entering the restaurant we found the place quite crowded Finding only 2 vacant places up at the counter. We, my sister Eleanor age 18 yrs and I Simona Age 21 yrs of age took our places and waited for what seemed approximately 5 minutes before we were waited on. A big husky girl, a restaurant attendant approached us as we waited. I noticed contempt written all over her face. The place where we were sitted [seated] was quite dirty with scraps of food and smeared with coffee. She never wiped it up instead she noticed it and left it just as it was. We didn't say a word, we just stayed waiting. She then placed glasses of water down with a terrific bang nearly knocking then [them] over, and all the while we were tolerant to all her unbearable actions. We asked her what kind of sandwiches she had, she told us, We than [then] asked her for ham sandwiches, All the while she spoke to us she used an awful tone of voice, as if to say scram. When she came back with the sandwiches, she placed them down with such a hard blow that I could have sworn she meant to throw them at our faces. We told her what we wanted to drink, Coca Colas. She didn't have any, she said, but we noticed that other [sic] were buying cokes. Well, she told us what all she had. So we asked her for two glasses of milk. I noticed that she selected the glasses that were placed separate from the clean ones. She poured our glasses of milk. All the while we were resenting everything she was doing for we knew just in what manner she intended everything, We stood for all not saying one thing because were uite [sic] hungry and felt an urge to eat. When she place the food checks or bills on the table she threw them square at our faces. I, Simona reproached her about the way she was treating us. By that time she had picked them up and threw the bills down on the floor and commanded us to pick them up and pay for the good as well. Then Eleanor spoke up, She said, Just who do you think you are and who do you think you are treating that way? She answered, Mexicans can never be treated any better. She was breathing quite fast with way seemed madness and not anger. My sister Ealeanor [corrected in pen: Eleanor] continued: "You can never be any better than we are,["] with that she immediately became enraged with disgust and flung a hard blow at Eleanor's face. Then Eleanor defended herself by throwing the glass of milk at her. Then the the mad woman ran from behind the counter forcing Eleanor to run out of the restaurant. I ran after to protect my sister for I knew she could Eleanor if she wanted to, for we are not the fighting kind. She cursed and sweared [sic] she didn't care whether the Mexican Republic would declare war for she didn't like the Mexican people and would very much like to see the end of them. When I saw her strike my sister I reached over to protect her where upon the woman took hold of me Simona, and knocked me down on the pavement hitting a terrific blow on my head, striking my face with blows that injured me some. By that time Eleanor ran up to me to help take her away from me. As she approached me [page 2] this woman released me and again ran after my sister. I got up as soon as she released me and ran after looking for my sister. I found her leaning against the filling Station wall Gaping [gasping] for air. I took hold of her to help her. The woman sill [still] made efforts to jump on her. She was held back by a soldier I do not know. We later paid for our food [handwritten addition: which we did not eat, and that was imposed upon us by the proprietor of the Cafe, who came up to us at the scene where we were knocked down and said to pay and to go away from there] and left for San Antonio on the Greyhound Bus.
