The 1917 Bath Riots

In this episode Marcelo takes the lead by telling Jess and Mason the story of Carmelita Torres, a 17 year old Mexican fed up with the dehumanizing processes she and her fellow migrant workers had to go through when they crossed the border in El Paso Texas legally to work, starting a protest that quickly escalated into a riot. Learn about the policies, events, and cruel practices that led up to this often underlooked chapter in Chicano and Western American History
