The only times that I an American of Mexican descent remember learning about Mexican history in school are during discussions of ancient civilizations and science (the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs landed in what is now the Yucatán Peninsula). I don’t know if things have changed since then. However, given that Mexico is one of our two closest neighbors, that Mexican Americans are by far the largest group of Latinx people living in the U.S. (nearly 37 million as of 2018),
and that 2021 marks 200 years since the end of the Mexican War of Independence (1810–1821), it never hurts to learn a little more with Mexican history books!

A California law professor born in Roswell and raised in Albuquerque has been honored for outstanding scholarship by the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation.
Laura E. Gómez, a professor with the School of Law at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) received the 2021 Outstanding Scholar Award in December and will be honored during a Feb. 16 virtual awards banquet.
Gómez was born in Roswell in 1964. Her parents, Antonio Gómez and Eloyda Gonzales Gómez, also were born here during the 1940s.
She said she has many relatives who still live in the city, including an uncle, Ruben Gonzales, and “distant” cousins George Peterson and Savino Sanchez, both current Roswell city councilors.
