STORY SYNOPSIS
At sunrise on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836, the Mexican army marched most of a captured Texian army in three groups from the Presidio La Bahía near Goliad. Within a short distance, the Mexicans opened fire on the weaponless soldiers and executed 342, of which 40 were too wounded to march. Twenty-eight men escaped, and an additional 30 with special skills were spared. Inside the walls of the Presidio, the wounded Texian commander, Col. James W. Fannin, was executed at point-blank range. The massacre occurred only three weeks after the Battle of the Alamo and roughly four weeks before the decisive Battle of San Jacinto.

FANNIN BATTLEGROUND
Fannin Battleground State Historic Site is located near Goliad at:
734 FM 2506
Fannin, TX 77960
Fannin Battleground memorializes the brave soldiers who fought the Battle of Coleto Creek on this site in 1836 during the Texas War for Independence. After Col. James W. Fannin surrendered to Mexican forces, Gen. Santa Anna ordered him and his men executed in nearby Goliad, against the wishes of other Mexican commanders. The surrender, and unanticipated execution, inflamed the Texas cause, spurring the battle cry “Remember Goliad!” More on Fannin Battleground State Historic Site can be found at

National Association of Hispanic Journalists
27th Annual Convention and Media & Career Expo
Friday, June 26, 2009 - San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Juan Gonzales, Founder and Editor, El Tecolote, San Francisco was inducted into the NAHJ Hall of Fame.
With a career in journalism that dates
back to 1970, Juan Gonzales is
currently a Latino newspaper founder
and an educator. As the founder and
editor of El Tecolote, a biweekly,
bilingual newspaper first published in
1970 in San Franciscos Mission District, Gonzales has continued
his goal to provide relevant coverage on the real issues that
affect the neighborhood. Through El Tecolote, he has attempted
to highlight the popular culture that exists in the Latino
community, which often times is neglected by the local dailies.
Since 1985, Gonzales has been the sole full-time instructor in
the department of journalism at City College of San Francisco
where he teaches four classes per semester and serves as
department chair. He also serves as adviser to the awardwinning
campus newspaper, The Guardsman.
Currently, Gonzales is also president of Acción Latina, a nonprofit
Mission District organization that provides educational
and cultural services to Latinos. Through his association with
Acción Latina, he founded in 1980 Encuentro del Canto
Popular, a yearly Latin American folk music festival held in the
Mission District. Additionally, Gonzales is director of the Voices
for Justice Project that is documenting the history of the Latino
press in the U.S. by producing a film, book and website.
In 2000, El Tecolote celebrates its 30th anniversary. For those
years of service the Society of Professional Journalists honored
Gonzales with its Distinguished Service Award. Similarly in
that year, ABCs KGO-TV honored him with a Heroes of
Excellence award. From 1998-2000, Gonzales served as Northern California
president of the Journalism Association of Community
Colleges. In 1983 Gonzales was honored by the National
Association of Third World Journalists for distinguished service
to the Latino community. At one time, Gonzales was a full-time
general assignment reporter for United Press Internationals San
Francisco bureau (1970) and Associated Presss San Francisco
bureau (1985).
In 1970 Gonzales founded a publishing collective called Espina
del Norte Publishing. Four years later, he was awarded the
Carey McWilliams Medal for publishing service to the Latino
community. Gonzales has also been a contributing writer for
Quill, In These Times, The San Joaquin Progressor, and Nuestro.
He also co-published the book Strike, a documentary of the
student strike at San Francisco State that took place from
1968-1970.
Gonzales has an AA degree in journalism from San Joaquin
Delta College in Stockton, Calif., a BA degree in journalism
from San Francisco State University, and an MA degree in mass
communications from Stanford University.

SUMMARY
=======
Texas (, locally ; Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is the second largest state in the United States by both area and population. Geographically located in the South Central region of the country, Texas shares borders with the U.S. states of Louisiana to the east, Arkansas to the northeast, Oklahoma to the north, New Mexico to the west, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the southwest, while the Gulf of Mexico is to the southeast.
Houston is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth largest in the U.S., while San Antonio is the second-most populous in the state and seventh largest in the U.S. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest metropolitan statistical areas in the country, respectively. Other major cities include Austin, the second-most populous state capital in the U.S., and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed The Lone Star State to signify its former status as an independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The Lone Star can be found on the Texas state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of Texas's name is from the word taysha, which means friends in the Caddo language.Due to its size and geologic features such as the Balcones Fault, Texas contains diverse landscapes common to both the U.S. Southern and Southwestern regions. Although Texas is popularly associated with the U.S. southwestern deserts, less than 10% of Texas's land area is desert. Most of the population centers are in areas of former prairies, grasslands, forests, and the coastline. Traveling from east to west, one can observe terrain that ranges from coastal swamps and piney woods, to rolling plains and rugged hills, and finally the desert and mountains of the Big Bend.
The term six flags over Texas refers to several nations that have ruled over the territory. Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas. France held a short-lived colony. Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence, becoming an independent Republic. In 1845, Texas joined the union as the ...

The term six flags over Texas refers to several nations that have ruled over the territory. Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas. France held a short-lived colony. Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence, becoming an independent Republic. In 1845, Texas joined the union as the 28th state. The state's annexation set off a chain of events that led to the Mexican–American War in 1846. A slave state before the American Civil War, Texas declared its secession from the U.S. in early 1861, and officially joined the Confederate States of America on March 2 of the same year. After the Civil War and the restoration of its representation in the federal government, Texas entered a long period of economic stagnation.
Historically four major industries shaped the Texas economy prior to World War II: cattle and bison, cotton, timber, and oil. Before and after the U.S. Civil War the cattle industry, which Texas came to dominate, was a major economic driver for the state, thus creating the traditional image of the Texas cowboy. In the later 19th century cotton and lumber grew to be major industries as the cattle industry became less lucrative. It was ultimately, though, the discovery of major petroleum deposits (Spindletop in particular) that initiated an economic boom which became the driving force behind the economy for much of the 20th century. With strong investments in universities, Texas developed a diversified economy and high tech industry in the mid-20th century. As of 2015, it is second on the list of the most Fortune 500 companies with 54. With a growing base of industry, the state leads in many industries, including agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers and electronics, aerospace, and biomedical sciences. Texas has led the U.S. in state export revenue since 2002, and has the second-highest gross state product. If Texas were a sovereign state, it would be the 10th largest economy in the world.
San Antonio
San Antonio , officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populous city in the United States of America and the second most populous city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1.3 million. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000-2010, and the second from 1990-2000. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south--central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.
