Panel Discussion in Honor of Mexico's Bicentennial Panelists include Rudy Acuña, historian, professor &
author of "Occupied America: A History of Chicanos" and Michael Powelson, CSUN Professor. This
discussion will deal with the topic of Mexico’s historical loss of its own territory, which includes Texas, to the
United States. Aspects covered will be the main provocations of the loss, whether or not Mexico should re-
claim its territory, what position Mexican citizens, Mexican immigrants, and Chicanos will take, and what
important claims are possible today with the implementation of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in current
situations like the onset of the SB1070 immigration bill in Arizona.
