The Center for Latino and Latin American Studies is proud to present Mexico 1810 1910 2010, a speaker series based upon everyday life in Michoacán during Mexican Independence and the Revolution.
About the Series
The series, entitled Mexico 1810-1910-2010: Everyday Life in Michoacán during Mexican Independence and the Revolution, is the first project jointly coordinated by Central Washington University and the Secretariat of Culture of the State of Michoacán. The institutions formalized their partnership through a memorandum of understanding signed in November by CWU Provost Wayne Quirk and Michoacán’s Secretary of Culture, Jaime Hernández Díaz. The series and future educational and cultural programming at the University for our community and neighboring communities in Central Washington will promote understanding of and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the many migrants and immigrants from the state of Michoacán who live in our area.
Mexico 1810-1910-2010 will bring six monthly speakers from Michoacán from November through June, 2010 in celebration of 200 years since the start of Mexico's War of Independence and 100 years since the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution.
Mexico 1810-1910-2010 series sponsors include: The Secretariat of Culture of Michoacán, the Center for Latino and Latin American Studies, CWU Offices of the President, of the Provost, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, the CWU departments of History, and Philosophy & Religious Studies, Tacos Chalito on Main Street in Ellensburg, Yakima Valley Community College, Fiesta Foods in Yakima, and Ke Buena Radio 96.9FM.
