February 2 is the anniversary of the end of the U.S.-Mexico War of 1846 and marks the signing of the peace treaty known as the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Centro Cultural Aztlan commemorates the 176th anniversary of this treaty with an annual exhibition by Texas artists.
Very thoroughly composed. This should be taught at all of the High schools as well as the colleges.
Outstanding artists' works. And always the congratulations to Centro Cultural Aztlan for commemorating "El Segundo de Febrero". Thank you Ricardo Romo.
Beautifully organized and illustrated. One very important historical aspect regarding the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is the fact that not a single provision agreed upon by the dastardly Gringos at the initial signing of the Treaty were ever fulfilled or carried out. Mexico pursued the effort years later but ignored by the U.S. Government at the time. It seems yesteryear and today those same feelings and views still define both the Mexican and the Mexican American. This cannot be denied by those who care; as well as those who do not give a crap about the Anglo's historical disrespect of Mexicanos in general.
Notwithstanding, our artists are the soldiers of our culture and history. Their visions constantly remind us of who we are as a people; and this also serves to inspire us to greatness; an objective we have yet to achieve. Let us be grateful to and renew ourselves through our artists.
