Texas Tejano.com, a San Antonio-based Tejano History research and publishing company has partnered with the University of Texas-San Antonio and The Boeing Company to produce a one-of-a-kind Tejano Symposium on October 12th at UTSA's Downtown Campus.
This scholarly and education event will be held from 9:00am-3:30pm in the Buena Vista Auditorium and will feature seven of the most distinguished Texas and Tejano historians in the field today. "This is an extremely important accomplishment for Texas Tejano.com and our partners," says Texas Tejano.com President and Founder Rudi R. Rodriguez.
"From the beginning, we have strived to make everything we produce be of the highest scholarship. With this first-ever Tejano Symposium in San Antonio, we feel that we have an event that will significantly contribute to the scholarly library of Tejano History," he added.
Seven of the most respected historians and authors of Texas and Tejano History will present information at the Symposium entitled: Texas Tejano Legacy and Heritage: 1821-1845.
"This year's Symposium promises to be the best ever," says Dr. Jude Valdez, UTSA Vice President for Community Services. "UTSA is proud to host this important event."
The speakers for this year's speakers are: Dr. James E. Crisp (North Carolina State University), Dr. Jesus F. de la Teja (Texas State University-San Marcos), Dr. Stephen Hardin (The Victoria College), Mr. David McDonald, (San Antonio) Mr. Alonzo Salazar (Houston) Dr. Andrés Tijerina (Austin Community College) and Rev. Robert Wright. (San Antonio)
"The story of those long neglected Tejano leaders who helped modern Texas come into existence is an opportunity to unite all Texans in the search for the ties that bind us as a society," says Dr. Jesus Francisco de la Teja, State Historian of Texas and Chairman of the Dept. of History for Texas State University-San Marcos.
The event is free and open to the public; a $20 admission fee will be charged to attend a special luncheon that features a special presentation by UTSA Professor of History Dr. Felix Almaraz. Registration is available online at http://www.texastejano.com/.
"We at Boeing are very proud to be sponsors of this unique, cultural and historical event," says Mr. Tony Gonzalez, Jr., Senior Liaison Engineering Manager of Boeing.
"It has always been said that you can never know where you are going until you know where you have come from. This event will help let all Hispanics in Texas know about their Tejano legacies." Seating is limited for the Symposium and the luncheon.
