Traveling exhibit reexamines border killings in Texas' history.
They’re doing it by transforming an exhibitDuring a period from 1910 to 1920 known as “La Matanza,” Anglo settlers, including local law enforcement and Texas Rangers, killed hundreds of Mexicans and Mexican Americans along the Texas-Mexico border. In 2014, a group of history and literature professors largely from Texas founded Refusing to Forget to educate the public about these atrocities and highlight the border community’s strength.
In 2022, Refusing to Forget got funding from the American Historical Association in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities to convert their “Life and Death on the Border 1910-1920” exhibit. It will hit the road during the bicentennial of the Texas Rangers’ founding and extend into 2024, making stops in McAllen, Houston, and Dallas.
The pared-down, digitized version of the exhibit paints a picture of life on the border through huge images of artifacts that were on display in the original exhibit . It also displays transcripts from Texas Rangers legislative hearings, says Kathryn Siefker, a senior curator at the Bullock. With these artifacts telling a story, Siefker says Refusing to Forget hoped host institutions would include local artifacts to personalize the exhibit while sharing the same story.
