(Re)Claiming Memories

Diana Hernandez, Alexandra Mendez, and Mitch Ford

Racing against time and the forces of nature, a team of graduate students at the University of Texas, Austin, works to reclaim history by working to prevent the destruction of a forgotten Mexican American cemetery in Austin, Texas.  A rich local history is emerging and stories are being revealed of Mexican migration to the United States that include narratives of previous pandemics holding lessons for us today.
