- W3034785405 abstract "Author(s): Ocegueda, Mark | Advisor(s): Ruiz, Vicki L | Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONSol y Sombra: San Bernardino’s Mexican Community, 1880-1960ByMark Anthony OceguedaDoctor of Philosophy in HistoryUniversity of California, Irvine, 2017Professor Vicki L. Ruiz, ChairThis dissertation documents San Bernardino's Mexican American people and their quest for civil rights in the day to day. Citrus and Santa Fe railroad workers, as well as Mexican middle class business owners, utilized defense committees, newspapers, baseball teams, mutualistas, and the local the Catholic Church, to counter discrimination, especially segregationist ordinances. I argue that San Bernardino’s geographical placement as a gateway into southern California solidified the city as an important regional economic hub during the early twentieth century that ultimately nurtured the development of a diverse and distinct Mexican American community. Sol y Sombra explores how the city became an important space for the propagation of conceptions of juvenile delinquency and their use to uphold the segregation of public parks and pools. I reveal resistance to segregation through community grassroots mobilization. Led by the Valles family, Puerto Rican newspaper editor Eugenio Nogueras, and Catholic cleric Jose Nunez these efforts culminated in Lopez v. Seccombe (1944), one of the first successful judicial challenges to racial segregation. I connect how this little known case eventually made waves throughout the region by influencing other important legal challenges, including Mendez v. Westminster (1947). This study also showcases the Mitla Cafe as a centerpiece of community life and as a site that reveals the untold history of a prosperous Mexican American business community along Route 66. Moreover, this dissertation explores how postwar urban renewal projects, such as the development of the Inland Empire’s U.S. 395 freeway contributed to the decline of this vital business district once renowned to travelers along Route 66. Ultimately, this study posits the Inland Empire and the city of San Bernardino as an important contested space for furthering our understanding of U.S. history." @default.
