On July 26, 2008, Jan B. Tucker delivered a keynote
speech at a fund raising event for AB 540 students at
Los Angeles Mission College. AB 540 students are
immigrants who were brought to America by their
parents -- usually at a very early age -- and who have
qualified to attend colleges and universities through
hard work and academic achievement. But, since they
are undocumented immigrants, they don't qualify for
federal or state financial aid. Click below to listen to
Tucker's speech on the history of the Southwest
beginning with the fight at the Alamo, the
Mexican-American war, the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, and many other topics. Included is the little
known history of how after Los Angeles surrendered
to American forces in the Mexican-American War, the
people revolted against the Marine Garrison and
chased them out of Southern California all the way
past San Luis Obispo and liberated San Diego from
American occupation forces.
