This work probes into the socio-political and cultural setting in
South Texas (1915-1992) via data found in the private archival
collection of Adela Sloss-Vento; it focuses on her role as an
activist, writer and civil/human rights pioneer. It is only through
this archive that documentation becomes available of her
participation in this unknown and unpublicized civil rights
movement. It is a realistic portrayal of an exclusionist
semi-colonial society that the reader discovers; a Jim Crow type of
political and racial existence against all people of Mexican
descent. It represents Sloss-Vento's lifelong struggle for economic
and social equality. Adela Sloss-Vento's role as a Civil Rights
pioneer antedates Dr. Anna Pauline Murray by eight years and Martin
Luther King by twenty-eight years. She places her mark in history
as a leader, not only for the first seminal Mexican-American Civil
Rights Movement of Texas but the first woman and voice in an early,
if not the earliest Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
