In this episode of the chronicles of Dallas Barrios podcast Joven Historian Noah Macias interviews his grandmother, sharing the story of how she came to Oak Cliff. Later a few of the emerging historians will discuss topics related to immmigration / migration in the US.
During the 2020-2021 school year, a group of students from Sunset High School's Mexican American Studies course partnered with the Dallas Mexican American Historical League to record the narratives of immigrants and migrants from Oak Cliff.
Noah Macias, a then high school student at Sunset High School, in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas and Joven Historian of DMAHL, interviews his Grandmother, sharing the story of how she came to Oak Cliff. We would like to provide a warning for this episode. Noah’s Grandmother says a word that has been used in the past to describe people with an intellectual disability in order to inflict exclusion. This was something that at the time people wouldn’t bat an eye at, but since this word equates intellectual disabilities with being dumb or stupid it will not be inlcuded in the episode, and is now considered hate speech. DMAHL appreciates the value in sharing hard truths and the importance of acknowledging how people were treated in the past because those values are still reverberating around our society and impacting the present day. With that context please listen with compassion and a curiosity to learn about people in their uniqueness despite stereotypes.
