Title A name given to the resource "'No Such Thing as Stand Still': Migration and Geopolitics in African American History" Description An account of the resource Kendra T. Field details the story of one family involved in a Chief Alfred Charles Sam's lesser-known Back-to-Africa movement in the early 20th century to claim that Marcus Garvey's larger movement and the Great Migration in general were rooted in the increasing ability of Black Americans to travel and migrate. Field further explains that Oklahoma was an early post-emancipation destination for freemen due to the United States' federal government's largely uninvolved presence in the territory that had originally been set aside for displaced Native Americans and less presence of discrimination. Field's article offers insight to matters of migration, mobility, and race. She examines the case of "Chief Sam," for example, who drew people into his movement back to Africa by promising developable land to black Oklahomans who had their land removed from them when the state was formed. This movement mirrored the migration of white European settlers to the Americas in search of land and subsequent prosperity. . Sam also used the idea of Moses to motivate people to join him, alluding to the movement of enslaved Jews from Egypt to a land that was ordained for their prosperity. This movement to long for the homeland also manifested as the desire to create a new homeland in America on Indian Territory and relocate in their effort to establish their freedom and their peoplehood. Throughout the piece, Kendra T. Field describes how the longing of freed Black Americans for a territory to manifest their freedom on led to the migration of groups to various lands and the establishment of movements that perhaps exploited this feeling.

Title A name given to the resource "Recuperating Histories of Violence in the Americas: Vernacular History-Making on the US-Mexico Border" Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Monica Muñoz Martinez, "<span>Recuperating Histories of Violence in the Americas: Vernacular History-Making on the US-Mexico Border</span>" <em>American Quarterly</em>, Vol. 66, No. 3, Special Issue: Las Américas Quarterly (September 2014): pp. 661-689 Description An account of the resource In this article Monica Martinez examines racial violence against ethnic Mexicans in early 20th-century Texas, specifically the 1915 murder of Jesús Bazán and Antonio Longoria. The piece explores how local and family narratives challenge official histories that often erased or justified such violence. Martinez highlights how historical memory, storytelling, and activism play a role in confronting past injustices and shaping public understanding of state-sanctioned racial terror. While the state-backed violence against Mexican Americans and Mexican migrants living around the Texas border wasn't explicitly encouraged by the Texas Rangers, the lack of guardrails and legal consequences against the Rangers gave the organization free-range to do and act like they pleased. The low number of documented sources reporting on the murders of Mexicans at the time is similar to other cases of state-sanctioned violence toward black Americans around Texas and other states in the US south. https://www.kudzu.ecdsomeka.org/files/original/6e0a9e03b3029305c64e1849cf5c8528.png c6325df3799f34f96cba1bb0d5cedc79 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Mexican Farm Labor Agreement (Bracero Contract), 1958 Description An account of the resource Mexican Farm Labor Agreement (Bracero Contract), 1958 https://braceroarchive.org/items/show/3023 Description and Historical Context: This primary source is a 1958 Bracero Program work contract issued to Dionisio Hernandez Canchola, a Mexican laborer recruited to work in the United States under the terms of the binational Bracero agreement (1942–1964). The contract, written in both English and Spanish and bearing official stamps and signatures, outlines the conditions of Canchola’s employment, including wage rates, duration of labor, housing provisions, and the geographic destination for work. These contracts were created as part of a formal labor system agreed upon by the U.S. and Mexican governments to address U.S. agricultural labor shortages, especially in southern and southwestern states. The document shows how the Bracero Program, where the U.S. government and private growers structured temporary migration through standardized contracts, was formalized and bureaucratized. Created by U.S. labor officials and Mexican recruiters, these documents were often signed by workers in processing centers with little to no room for negotiation. Analysis and Significance: Canchola’s contract provides a window into how Latino migration to the U.S. South was shaped by both economic opportunity and state regulation. It tells us the economic motivation that drove workers like Canchola to leave rural Mexico—namely, the promise of higher wages and employment unavailable in their home communities. While the agreement promises a specific wage and employment period, Bracero testimonies often describe broken promises, poor living conditions, and lack of enforcement—highlighting the difference between official documentation and on-the-ground experience. For students of migration in the "Migrant South," this source gives evidence of the economic motivations behind Latino migration, as well as the United States’ complicity in regulating and profiting from this labor system. For the audience, the contract can raise the following important question: How did the terms in these contracts compare to lived realities? Bibliography: Cohen, Deborah.
