Segundo de Febrero Papers
Established in San Antonio, Texas in 1977, the annual Segundo de Febrero commemoration of the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marks the transfer of Mexico's northernmost territories to the United States of America at the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848. The ratification of the treaty was a watershed moment with profound consequences for people of Mexican descent inhabiting the current American Southwest. The event is organized through a joint venture between nonprofit organizations, namely Amistades and Centro Cultural de Aztlán as well as political groups such as the Raza Unida Party, and features art and literature that reflect on the legacy of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In this collection are materials related to the coordination and administration of the event from its inaugural commemoration in 1977 through 2013 and contains approximately one cubic foot of archival material.
