  • La Matanza, the Hour of Blood: the Lynching of Two Teens in Texas

    La Matanza, the Hour of Blood: the Lynching of Two Teens in Texas
    2025/06/12
    The years from 1910 to 1920 are known as La Matanza (the massacre) or La Hora de Sangre (the hour of blood). This violence was committed by state police, vigilantes and military, including the Texas rangers, whose violence was worse during 1915 to 1919. Estimates of the number of dead Mexicans from these years range from 300 to 5000, but it’s not exact because so many murders went unreported.

    In this episode, Cristina talks about the lynching of two teens in Texas during La Matanza. The lynching of 14 year old Antonio Gomez and 15 year old Leon Martinez.

    This is a very heavy episode, listen with caution.

    The Hour of Blood, La Matanza and the Lynching of Antonio Rodriguez
    2025/06/05
    The years from 1910 to 1920 were brutal, and are known by a couple names, La Matanza (the massacre) or La Hora de Sangre (the hour of blood). This violence was committed by state police, vigilantes and military, including the Texas rangers, whose violence was worse during 1915 to 1919. Estimates of the number of dead Mexicans from these years range from 300 to 5000, but it’s not exact because so many murders went unreported.

    The lynching of Antonio Rodriguez is considered the first during this deadly 10 year period.

  • a Brief History of Lynching Against Mexicans in the US

    a Brief History of Lynching Against Mexicans in the US
    2025/05/22
    The Tuskegee Institure’s definition of lynching is as follows: There must be legal evidence that a person was killed. That person must have met death illegally. A group of three or more persons must have participated in the killing. The group must have acted under the pretext of service to justice, race or tradition. Following that, the amount of lynchings against Mexicans in the US from 1848 to 1928 is at least 548.

    In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about the history of lynchings against Mexicans in the US. This is part one of a mini series discussing this dark chapter in US history. Listen with care. In the next episode, Cristina will discuss the lynching of Josefa in California.
