DESCRIPTION: The East Side's Impact in San José: A Conversation With Scholars\n\nDate 
 & time: Saturday, September 3, 2022 @ 1:00PM – 3:00PM\n\nLocation: 
 California Room, 2nd Floor, Room 225 \nDr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library,

 history of San José’s east side remained largely unchronicled. Newspaper 
 accounts and academic papers offered only glimpses, but not a complete 
 picture. In the late 20th century, a new generation of historians began 
 putting the pieces together. \n\nJoin us for a conversation with four 
 scholars whose research was instrumental in illuminating the east side 
 story. \n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nStephen Pitti, PhD is a Professor of History, 
 American Studies, and Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. He 
 is the author of The Devil in Silicon Valley: Race, Mexican Americans, and 
 Northern California and other works on Chicano history and historiography. 
 (Joining virtually)\n\nJosie Méndez-Negrete, PhD, is professor emerita of 
 The University of Texas at San Antonio, founder and publisher of 
 Conocimientos Press and the author of three books including Activist 
 Leaders of San José.\n\nAlexandro J. Jara is a scholar of Western and 
 Latin American History, and the author of “Latinos and U.S. Transnational 
 Urbanism: Ethnic Mexicans, Culture, and the Politics of Making San José, 
 1940-1980".\n\nHOST:  Arturo Villarreal is a professor with a BA in 
 Behavioral Science/Cultural Anthropology and a MA in Social Science from 
 San José State University. He is the co-author of the book Mexicans in San 
 José, and currently teaches Ethnic Studies and Anthropology at Evergreen 
 Valley 
 College.\n______________________________________________________________________\n\nBelow: 
 East Side San Jose - "Mural de la Raza", 1985. Jose Meza Velasquez.  A city 
 landmark for 33 years, the mural celebrated Chicano culture. Sadly, the 
 mural at Story Rd. & King Rd. was painted over sometime in 2018 sparking 
 community controversy regarding the importance of protecting urban art and 
 history.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/06/12/18850411.php
