Dr. Francisco Balderrama Mexican Repatriation in the 1930’s Part 2/4
The unveiling of the Mexican “Repatriation” Apology Monument in Los Angeles at La Plaza de Cultura y Artes in 2012.
The monument is to recognize Mexican legal residents in California and their American-born children who were unconstitutionally removed from their homes and deported to Mexico during the Great Depression.

SF State Associate Professor of Sociology Marla Ramirez’s research into mass removals in the 1930s focuses on how it affected the children and grandchildren of Mexican-Americans who were repatriated.
