| Summary: |
"Join the quest of 25 history students, mostly Mexican American, who drive 2,000 miles from Alamo in Texas to a Springfield, Illinois museum asking to repatriate General Santa Anna's prosthetic leg and honoring Abe Lincoln's support of Mexico with a Day of the Dead altar. With humor, humility, and animated history lessons, these students from San Antonio's St. Mary's College raise questions of identity, borders, museum ethics, and collective memory. You will even learn a bit about the war Mexicans never forget and Americans hardly remember: the US-Mexican War."--Container. |
