In December 2021, a group of Mexican American scholars met at the Latinx Research Center to celebrate fifty years of Mexican American Studies. The group included many who were founders of the National Association of Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS). The organizing committee includes ISSI/LRC faculty affiliates/alums Teresa Córdova, David Montejano, and Larry Trujillo. The event was documented in three videos available here: Part One discussed the victories and areas that still need to be addressed, Part Two discussed the impact of environmental racism on Latinx communities, Part Three explored the present and future of Mexican American studies.
