Monica Muñoz Martinez, an educator, a historian and an award-winning author, describes her work as “trying to recover history that’s been forgotten or disavowed and make it public.""The Injustice Never Leaves You: Anti-Mexican Violence in Texas,”From 1910 to 1920, it's estimated that as many as several thousand ethnic Mexicans were killed at the hands of law enforcement, such as the Texas Rangers, as well as by vigilantes.
Muñoz Martinez, an assistant professor of American and ethnic studies at Brown, continues to unearth early 20th-century accounts of racial violence in the Texas border area through a digital research project, histories that she says can also shed light on more current attitudes about the border and law enforcement., which organizes exhibits and conferences around the issue.
