Abstract

Cabinet Meeting in El Paso

December 11, 1967 issue

add to cart close window

To get to Juarez, Mexico, one must pass over the littered, tenement streets of El Paso, Texas. For most "Anglos" it is a transit zone through which they hurry in their cars, but for the Mexican-American who lives there, it is home; and for the immigrant or itinerant Mexican who crosses the border legally or illegally, it is a place of refuge in the flight to opportunity. On October 26-28, 1967, the Cabinet committee hearings on Mexican-American Affairs were held in El Paso, amid much fanfare that derived from the highly publicized meeting between U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and President Diaz Ordaz of Mexico, as the concluding act in the Chamizal land transfer.
