"On the northern edge of Los Altos, Mexico, is the municipality of Pantelhó. With cities and villages situated in the valleys of tropical, mountainous terrain, Pantelhó is also home to communities of Tzotzil-speaking Mayan artisans who weave distinctive, backstrap-loomed textiles. Their traditional huipil design features narrow, alternating stripes of red and white, decorated by multicolored bands of embroidery around the neckline and embroidered chevrons at the sleeves. Toads, stars, and other symbols are either woven or embroidered onto the stripes in vertical columns. Weavers of contemporary Pantelhó blusas incorporate vibrant pinks, greens, purples, and other colors made possible by modern threads, creating some of the most distinctive textiles in Chiapas.

""In the past the weaving process was very arduous. My grandmother told me that they used cotton; they didn't buy yarn as we do now; they had to prepare everything. I don't know where they got it; only that they had a place where they prepared the cotton and then they wove the blouses and the men's clothing. We no longer have to do all that. Now we buy the thread in the stores; it is ready to use and we only have to make balls and can weave it quickly. We cannot compare the work of our grandmothers with the work we do today. Life has changed, but I don't know if it has improved or worsened." -Magdalena López López, Weaver, Jolom Mayaetik, Weaving Chiapas: Maya Women's Lives in a Changing World.

🌊 Why is it called the Gulf of Mexico? 🇲🇽
Because Mexico has always been the heart of these waters — from ancient civilizations to colonial power, and now a global economic force.
Its name tells the story of a land that never stopped mattering.

"Our newest exhibition, "Empowering Threads: Textiles of Jolom Mayaetik" will feature this 8-foot-long loom! Contemporary weavers in Los Altos de Chiapas, located in the central highlands of southern Mexico, are preserving ancient Mayan art and culture. Working on backstrap looms, these artisans are utilizing methods passed down through generations to combine old-world symbolism with new colors and designs. See "Empowering Threads: Textiles of Jolom Mayaetik" opening next week, pre-security, in the International Terminal.

US segregation was a systemic injustice that impacted not only African Americans but other minorities, including Mexicans. Discrimination, disenfranchisement, and social barriers created a legacy of inequality that still resonates today. Together, we must acknowledge and address these historical injustices of all minorities not just one segment. #EndSegregation #EqualityForAll #mexicansarentgoinganywhere #mexicans #mexicanhistory #chicano

Never Apologize..... #mexicansarentgoinganywhere #MexicanPride #chicano #mexicanhistory

✊🏽 The Mexican community played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, fighting for equality and justice alongside other marginalized groups. Leaders like Dolores Huerta championed labor rights and social justice, reminding us of the power of unity in the struggle for civil rights. 🌎 #CivilRights #mexicanhistory #chicano #mexicansarentgoinganywhere
