SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF THE ONLY MEXICAN AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM AND ARCHIVE IN THE U.S.!

We invite you to join us in celebrating MACRI’s fifth anniversary, recognizing the accomplishments and future of MACRI and its role in chronicling and advancing Mexican American civil rights history in America.

A Celebration Luncheon will be held on Wednesday, May 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Westin San Antonio North. Launched in 2019, the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute (MACRI) is the only national history initiative dedicated to preserving and disseminating Mexican American civil rights history. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the cradle of Mexican American civil rights.

Highlights of our fifth-anniversary luncheon will include an announcement about our ambitious plan to shine a spotlight on San Antonio as a national destination to learn about Mexican American civil rights history, including our rich local history as the birthplace of many significant Mexican American civil rights organizations and leaders, as well as the larger national story of Mexican American civil rights endeavors across the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, the New South, and beyond. Learn about how we plan to grow MACRI into a national center housing significant historical archives and collections, preserving the legacy of Mexican American civil rights endeavors for generations to come, and offering an unparalleled opportunity for the public to learn about this vital history.

As we reflect on our accomplishments over the last five years we'll welcome distinguished museum leaders from across the country for a conversation about museums engaging communities in civil rights. Don't miss their insights into community resilience and cultural preservation!

Help us celebrate our fifth anniversary and build a foundation for a future where Mexican American civil rights history is widely known and valued.
