The Texas Rocket Trail 2023 Ended in Southeast Texas/Smith Point Friday
Friday marked the end of the Texas Rocket Trail for Rockets 2023, as the second and final day of launches in Smith Point boasted good weather and a steady line of rockets coming for testing. The original schedule listed 22 rockets for testing, but by day’s end one carryover from Thursday added and 5 vehicles dropped off the docket, leaving only 18 to launch which still creates a full day. Most…

“When I was going to high school in Anahuac, the person I really admired was my world history teacher, Mr. Broussard. He made learning about history so much fun. He used to have these little sayings like, ‘Now we’re going to slide into Greece.’ Or, ‘It’s time to roam over to Rome.’ Those are some of the things I took with me into my teaching career. He was a World War II veteran. He lost his leg in the war, but never talked about it. He was just an engaging teacher, and a really nice man. I never got to tell him how much he impacted my life and my decision to go into history. I’ve always loved anything to do with history. It’s probably because there’s so much of it in my family. I’m a fifth-generation Texan. My great-great-great-great-grandfather fought at the Battle of San Jacinto with Sam Houston. Our ancestral history goes back to the ‘Old Three Hundred’ — the original settlers in Texas. Where our family ranch house is located is part of the original Mexican land grant. My mother had the wanderlust that I do, wanting to travel and see things. Anything with a historical background, I’m all for it. I’ve been to a lot of places in the states. I’ve been to Vicksburg. I’ve been to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. I’ve been to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. In Europe, I’ve been to the Bastille, which is now just a monument in France. I’ve been to Normandy and done the beaches. That was unbelievable, because I especially love World War II history. I’ve been to Greece, and saw the Acropolis and Parthenon, and Olympia, where the first Olympics were held. I’ve been to Machu Picchu in Peru. There are no words for it, knowing that you’re going up to this ruin that’s hundreds and hundreds of years old. So many other places. And as a teacher, I would use pictures that I took to go along with stories in my classes. I just love to travel. With COVID, and other issues in our family, it’s not been possible as much. But I have a bucket list of places I still want to see. One day, I’m going to make it happen. I’m definitely ready to get back out there.”

Pioneer Architects IX
Modern culture in Mexico has found its filiation and origin in the personal isolation of its artificers, in which the Mexican is defined as the living conscience of it; from poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to architect Luis Barragán. The authentic Mexican women revolution in architecture emerges from the separation from a guild that has always shown a profound historical conscience and ignored until then, the value of the doubt and the exam.

This traditionalism in the Mexican architecture and its ways, gave it strength and depth to these women and their forced isolation by the invisible walls of that same tradition, whose only exit (Barragán would later prescribe it) was a quiet revolution through the resurgence of the disciplinar reality and the conservative schemes of its long history. This secular isolation of women in the architectural field, provided them with a distant intelligence and a critical eye, that wasn’t in love with its particularities. For this issue of Pioneer architects, we find ourselves reflecting over the legacy of the solitary images of these pioneer architects, designers and historians, that shaped in different ways, the culture of design in Mexico in the XX Century, breaking their sound of silence.

Such is the case of  María Luisa Dehesa, the first Latin american architect to receive the degree in Mexico in 1937; Cuban industrial designer Clara Porset, who made her career in Mexico expanding the limits of Academia in the country and worked closely with Luis Barragan and Mario Pani; Nationalist promoter of the Mexican and first architect engineer from the National Polytechnic Institute Ruth Rivera Marín; North American Architecture Historian Esther McCoy whose fascination and critical view on Mexican Modernism would travel and impact the development of architecture and design in California; and first industrial designer, entrepreneur and promoter of Mexican modern design María Aurora Campos Newman.

The real revolution of these women wasn’t to find the crack in the guild’s wall, knock down the doors of their academia, nor open the windows of the discipline searching for fresh air, openness, creative and professional freedom, questioning with their actions the absolute trust with which the old architects confronted the world from their own collegiate and groups. Their greatest merit, was to create themselves a world to live in and share it with us.
Tumblr media
María Luisa Dehesa Gómez Farías  (Mexico, 1912-2009) was the first woman to receive her architect degree in Mexico and Latin America, breaking the traditionally man-designated space on the discipline in the country. Her approach to architecture from a social perspective would be defined early on in her career when she proposed her thesis “Artillery Barracks Type” as a response to the high criminality among sons of soldiers that lacked a proper housing to share with their parent who remained quartered in the Barracks. Her proposal for the construction of a social family housing unit shaped her future projects and almost 50 year trajectory where she would continue to focus on housing in government dependencies on an urban scale in Mexico City’s Public Work Department.
Tumblr media
Clara Porset (Cuba, 1895-1981) was born in Cuba and became one the referent for Mexican design of the XX century.  She studied architecture and furniture design in the Paris studio of Henri Rapin and attended classes at École des Beaux Arts, Sorbonne, and the Louvre. In 1934 she traveled to the United States to study under former Bauhaus instructors, artists Josef and Anni Albers at Black Mountain College. To her return to Cuba, she was briefly artistic director of the Technical School for Women, which she was forced to leave yet again due to her political stands. Back in Mexico, she married Mexican muralist Xavier Guerrero.

Her furniture designs would continue to be produced by Ruiz Galindo Industries (IRGSA) in the 50’s developing her E (wooden) and H (metal) - office furniture series. Porset later curated the exhibition Art in Daily Life: An Exhibition of Well-Designed Objects Made in Mexico at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 1952, featuring handcrafted and mass-produced objects from local and international artists and designers.

By the end of the 50’s she returned this time to post-revolutionary Cuba to design the new society furniture visions of the revolutionaries in schools and universities.

She returned to Mexico then to teach Art History at the recently founded Industrial Design Program at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, where she settled part of her legacy in Mexican Modern Design through her personal collection, library and archive.

Ruth Rivera Marín (Mexico, 1927-1969) was the first woman to graduate from the College of Engineering and Architecture at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico in 1950. Daughter of Mexican renowned muralist Diego Rivera and well-known actress and writer Guadalupe Rivera Marín, she was early on introduced to the world of the arts and culture. She studied urban rehabilitation in Rome after working in the master plan for the city of Celaya, Guanajuato for the public service. She then returned to Mexico to teach architecture Theory, Architectural Composition and Urban Planning Theory, and furthering her intellectual acumen and nationalist ideal working closely with Diego Rivera and architects Juan O’Gorman, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and Enrique Yañez.

By the 1960’s she became head of planning for the Ministry of public Education’s National Systems of Regional Rural School. Rivera would later be involved on the building of the national Medical Center and the Museum of Modern art in close collaboration with Pedro Ramírez Vázquez; as well as with Luis Barragan on the Museum ‘El Eco’ in Mexico City. Her most noted work was the Anahuacalli Museum in association with Diego Rivera and Juan O’Gorman; and her design for the Mexican Pavilion for the 1962 Century 21 Fair in Seattle alongside Carlos Mijares. Rivera then ran Notebooks of Architecture and Conservation of the Artistic patrimony and its supplement Notebooks of Architecture, a journal of theory and practice in the discipline that was the basis for teaching in the XX Century in Mexico.

Esther McCoy (USA, 1904-1989) was an American architecture critic and historian, instrumental in bringing the modern architecture of California to the world, shaping modernism in Los Angeles. Contributor to the magazine’s Arts & Architecture, Architectural Forum, Architectural Record, Progressive Architecture; the Los Angeles Times and The Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, as well as European journals L'Architectura and Lotus; her writing was a leading critical voice in a male-dominated architecture community, tracing the now well constructed Californian modernism identity.

However, less known is her contribution and broadcast of Mexican Modernism to California. During the year-long period spent in Mexico in 1951, her writing and observations of the vibrant and contextual modernist scene developing in Mexico during the 50’s; while drawing the references and connection in the design language and spatial articulation that architects from both places used, building a bridge between Mexico and California, the international and popular style, Luis Barragán and Rudolph Schindler, Clara Porset and Richard Neutra. During her trips to Mexico, she witnessed the construction of Mario Pani and Enrique del Moral Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Campus, the domestic architecture of Luis Barragán, Juan O-Gorman, and Francisco Artigas, key figures of the the modernization in the country and brought them to an audience that knew little about it.

María Aurora Campos Newman de Díaz (1941-2003) was the first Mexican woman in the country  to graduate as industrial designer from the Universidad Iberoamericana in 1962 with a thesis on packaging for children beauty products. Inspired by her time working at the projects department at Knoll International, she left to Italy in 1965 to continue her studies at the Politecnico di Milano, and then to Germany in 1967 to study at the renowned Universität Ulm. After the school’s definite closing in 1968, she returned to Mexico in 1969, where she became famous for her commitment to promote design as founder of Grupo di in 1971, a company devoted the office-interior space planning, and designated Knoll’s distributed in Mexico until 1985.

Among her most renowned projects of her, was the new image for the international executive lounge for Mexicana de Aviación in Mexico City’s international airport; a project incorporating in the interior design, and integral way to incorporated furniture, exhibition stands, finishings and technology, opening a field of corporate interior design. In 1983, Campos Newman founded DA COLOR, a pioneer store in Mexico specialized in self-build furniture made by national designers. By 1988 Grupo di started importing Italian furniture and becoming the exclusive distributor in the country for Estel, Arflex, Matteograssi and Reixte; until 1999, from where she developed her own office furniture line, produced entirely in Mexico, Euro. Her entrepreneurial labor and integral philosophy towards design, carried an important role in the development and promotion of Mexican modern design.

Martin Gonzalez Mexica Movement Nican Tlaca Nation "I know a lot of people wonder why I am involved with the educational liberation of my people. This is not the friend or brother they remember growing up. I know that I have distanced myself from many of you, and it's something most of you won't ever understand. I grew up my entire life seeing nothing but sadness and struggles. Those who are close to me can understand what I am talking about, as our suffering still continues. I saw a lot of evil things happen to real good people. I grew up witnessing injustice after injustice, until I became full of anger and resistance. All I ever wanted in life was the truth. I wanted to know why I ended up in a foster home. I wanted to know why I never met my real father. I wanted to know why I had half brothers and half sisters. I wanted to know why no one in my family had ever graduated high school. I wanted to know why none of my friends, or the people in my community had ever gone to college or made anything meaningful out of their lives. I guess as the years passed by, I began to normalize all of this. The gangster rap music told me this was who I was. The American me, and blood in blood out movies told me that being Mexican meant being defiant, it meant being tough, not listening to no one, running the streets, getting high, chasing after females and living in ignorance. Education was the last thing anyone ever thought about in our communities. As kids we never even thought about what our jobs would be as we grew up, let alone having any thoughts of college or a career. For us, life was all about drugs, music, parties, and sports. That was our colonized bubble. We had no idea of the consequences. We could not see the addictions developing and the destruction that came with it. We never had any real shot in life, we never had any dreams or goals, life was one big cloud of marijuana smoke, and we comforted each other in this fog. #Mexicamovement #Mexica #nicantlaca #nodapl #mexicans #Cemanahuac #anahuac #firstnations #olmecs #olmec #indigenous #indigenouspride #native #natives #nativeamerican #nativeamericans #latino #hispanics #nothispanic #notlatino #decolonize

A teacher, therapist and pastor: How DACA recipients are serving their Texas neighbors
Tumblr media
Juan Ríos, pastor. Photo: Ben Torres
Nurses, doctors, teachers, advocates and even pastors — many recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals permits have embraced social service-oriented careers.
There are about 800,000 children of immigrants allowed by DACA to lawfully remain and work in the U.S. The program is being phased out and they’ll lose their legal status if Congress doesn’t meet President Donald Trump’s challenge to pass a law allowing them to stay.
DACA recipients are called “Dreamers.” A September 2016 poll by the Center for American Progress found that, among employed Dreamers, 21 percent work in health and educational services while 11 percent work for nonprofits. An estimate by the Migration Policy Institute based on data from the federal government says about 20,000 are teachers.
Here’s how three DACA recipients are living and working in the U.S.
Juan Ríos, the pastor
In a Youtube video, Juan Ríos and other family children take a dive into the Cuatrociénagas lagoon in Coahuila, Mexico.
Now 25, Ríos barely recognizes himself in that video, a relic from 1994 ferreted out by his cousin. Juan was blond and small.
It was filmed months before the whole family emigrated to Dallas.
“I've always wanted to know Mexico, where I come from. My father tells me different stories, but I don't recall anything,” Ríos said.
Many immigrants who were children when brought to the U.S. have hazy memories, or no memories at all, of the places where they were born. Now they’re faced with the possibility that they’ll have to go back.
At the Mi Casa de Oración ministry in East Dallas, Ríos explains that, “I come here to reassure those who live in fear.”
Ríos has preached at Mi Casa every Sunday since 2013. He also preaches on Tuesdays at Good Samaritan Methodist Church in Oak Cliff.
“Many members here are undocumented,” he said. “Most come from families without a father, where drug or alcohol abuse is rife. They're young people in great need of guidance.”
“They drop out of school or flee their homes. Sometimes they've called us in the middle of the night to go seek them out. Others have been sexually abused and have lots of psychological problems.”
Ríos learned the pastoral craft from his father, a minister. Ríos preaches with his wife, Eliana, a teacher.
Ríos was  attending Skyline High School when he was accepted for a summer internship with an architectural firm. “I was so happy. I was a 16-year old kid in the midst of architects and I was going to be given my own office and desk,” he said.
But he had no Social Security number and lost the job on his first day.
Ríos attended Eastfield College for a year, but again and again couldn't find work because he lacked the proper papers. He went to Amarillo to wait tables in his uncle’s restaurant.
After a year of sleeping on a couch in a cellar, he heard about plans to launch the DACA program. He began to save. “Every dime I made as a waiter went on my application,” he said.
He’s now studying at the Tech Teach program at El Centro College, covering his expenses by doing work for an electric company.
He protested in front of Dallas City Hall when he learned DACA would end. But, for him, his preaching is key to moving forward.
“We want to turn this collective fear into something positive, not only within the church's walls. There's an entire community supporting us,” he said.
Stephanie López, the speech therapist
Tumblr media
Photo: Ben Torres
Stephanie López, 23, watched her youngest brother grow up with epilepsy and encephalopathy. The latter left him with a speech disability. Realizing how difficult it was to find a bilingual therapist for him, López soon had a clear idea of what she wanted to do in life: work with special kids.
“My brother is 15, but in his mind he’s like 5. He is just learning to put complete sentences together. That motivated me to be bilingual and learn sign language,” said López, donning a nurse uniform at HABLA Speech Therapy in Mesquite, where she works.
“Now, I can communicate with deaf-mute people and I have 12 patients, whom I visit at home. All of them are Hispanic children with autism, Down syndrome and hearing disabilities.”
López is a speech-language pathologist, a profession she studied at University of North Texas thanks to DACA and her parents.
Her dad is a construction worker. Her mom cleans houses.
“We paid my entire degree out-of-pocket. I never took money from the government,” López said. She said her parents sometimes went without water, electricity or food so she could pay for school and continue studying.
Now López is part of the 4 percent of therapists who provide Spanish bilingual services nationwide, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
She remembers when she learned about DACA: “I was in my dorm doing homework when I got a text from my mom. I started crying with my roommate, who was undocumented, too.”
Once covered by DACA, she was able to work part-time as a waiter. She said the money helped her afford food and books.
Slowly, she started shedding the notion that there could be no future for a girl born in a small rancho in Anahuac, Nuevo León, Mexico, a place she only lived in for two and a half years. She  can only visualize her hometown through stories her mother shares.
The day Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Trump’s decision to phase out DACA, one of her patients asked whether she was going to be sent back to Mexico.
“I felt sad thinking if something were to happen to me, a child I've known for years would be left with no services because there aren't many bilingual therapists who can assist him.”
Last February, López traveled to Austin to fight proposed cuts to Medicaid for children with special needs.
“I want my patients’ parents to know that the person treating their children, the one who drives to Austin to fight for them, is an unauthorized immigrant. If they respect my work, why would they look differently at me just because I don't have papers?”
Irazema Rodríguez, the teacher
Tumblr media
Photo: Ben Torres
Irazema Rodriguez dreamed of being a teacher even back when she was a young volunteer at an elementary school. Now she teaches “everything” to a group of second-grade Hispanic low-income children in a Pleasant Grove school.
“Sometimes I get to school and pinch myself -- I still can't believe it's real,” said the 23-year old mother of a 2-year old boy. She graduated from Arlington University in May with an interdisciplinary studies degree.
“I teach reading, writing, social studies and science in Spanish and math in English” to 7- and 8-year-olds, she said.
Many come from Mexico and El Salvador, but they're most familiar with American culture.
"They have to learn about the American symbols, our values and traditions. But some things about their home countries, too,” she said.
Rodriguez remembers the day her mother left for Texas.
“They told me she just went to the grocery store. But she never came back,” she said. “I was clueless. We spent like a month without her before a friend of hers could bring me and my sister here.”
She was 5 when she left her home state of Durango, Mexico.
For a long time, she was aware of the limitations she lived with in the U.S.  "I realized I could never get a driver's license or a student loan,” Rodriguez said.
She said her younger brother, a U.S citizen, had a harder time understanding why he had better opportunities than his sisters -- why he was the only one in the family who could get in a plane and travel wherever he wanted.
“One of the reasons we DACA people want to help others is because we have experienced not being able to get something only because of our place of birth,” she said. “We know what feeling diminished is.”
Once she got her DACA permit, Rodriguez quit her job in a fast food joint and worked in a garment store. She was there for three years. She was a manager.
But her mother wanted her to go to school. “She was always suggesting me things to study and I used to say, ‘What for if, after I graduate, I won't be able to work?’ And she would say, ‘You never know if by the time you graduate there will be something that'll let you to work.’”
Her mother’s faith and DACA opened a once unthinkable path for her and her 20-year old sister, who also has a DACA permit and is studying to be a nurse.
The end of the program is something she doesn't want to think about.
“Talking about it makes me feel a lot of emotions I'm not prepared to deal with,” she said. “In my mind, I want to keep thinking every one of us is going to be fine.”

Rockets 2023 Southeast Texas/Smith Point Launches Thursday Recap
Southeast Texas Rockets started off Thursday in Smith Point. After a rainy and stormy set up day on Wednesday, we enjoyed partly cloudy skies, and a breeze for most of the day. It was humid and steamy, and puddles riddled the site, but it was still a manageable weather situation for the launches. The drawbacks for the day were that we started off with the Internet and the port-a-potties still MIA…

“We had these talent shows every year in Anahuac. When I was a junior in high school, I decided to enter with some of my friends. We performed ‘Free Bird’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I played the lead part and sang. I had my Sears electric guitar with these cool built-in effects like fuzz and distortion. And I had an amp stack. I wanted that big sound. We got a standing ovation, and we should have won. These little kids won instead. I guess they were too cute or something. But that experience really had an impact on me, seeing how it made people’s emotions react. Another time I made this girl cry when I played a real sad song that I wrote. That’s when I thought, wow, I’ve got some kind of power here. I like this. Music, I can do this. Ever since I was 10, when I started listening to Beatles records that my aunt had, I wanted to become a famous singer. I wanted to have a band that was legendary. I didn’t want to be a one-night wonder. I wanted the money and the respect and the fame. Our band, the Texas Hurricanes, did well for a long time. For 20 years we played gigs all over. We could do country, rock, just about any genre. One time someone asked if I could do rap. I said, yep. I could do ‘Wild Thing’ by Tone Loc. It’s not gangsta rap, but it’s still rap. We were pretty popular. People loved us. But we never made it real big. We never got that big recording contract. I haven't lost that love for performing in front of people, though. These days, I do it from this mobile rig I built. I call it E.T. I’ll get off work and ride over to places like Walmart, Kroger or Lowe’s, and I’ll sing on Facebook Live. It’s not the big time, but it’s still fun. I still enjoy it. I do it out of that love for music.”

Seattle Seahawks Superbowl Champ Christine Michael Takes Houston Teen Taylor Kirkwood to Prom
For most, prom night is one of the most memorable moments of a young girls life. For 18-year-old Taylor Kirkwood, Saturday night was her special night.  Kirkwood had everything a girl could ask for: the perfect earrings, perfect bracelet and the perfect pink dress.  In another room her date to the Anahuac High School prom was getting ready as well. He’s plays football but not for the high school…

Rockets 2022-WSMR, Saturday Launch Day Report
Rockets 2022-WSMR, Saturday Launch Day Report
Three of four schools tested rockets at White Sands Missile Range today. Fredericksburg, Alamo Heights and Union Grove comprised that list.  The fourth school, Brazoswood will be first up tomorrow morning. An one hour delay, five minutes before our first T time began a series of events today, that left our clock too short to complete our mission today. Union Grove was on the rail ready for launch…
