• Art from Carmen Lomas Garza, a Kingsville, TX native who uses her childhood memories and experiences to create work which recalls the traditions and folklore of Tejano Families.

Also, a link to a bio page on Lomas Garza, complete with RealAudio stories about her family and her art; and a "thematic, inquiry-based art education resource" called "Chicana and Chicano Space" (worth checking out), sponsored by the Hispanic Research Center at Arizona State University and the CIMD (Coalition to Increase Minority Degrees). The CIMD site includes links to finamcial aid resources and minority expert databases. Finally, links to CMAS (the Center for Mexican American Studies) and ILAS (the Institute for Latin American Studies) here at UT.

And, as we hear in a clip, the Duke was paying homage to his cowboy hero, Harry Carey, when he struck the pose.
