Join us for a historical look at Arizona during the Chandler Contigo celebration! Dr. Pete Dimas will share the important story of Arizona's creation through the labor and love of Mexican pioneers. Using the documentary series, "Arizona's Mexican Heritage," Dimas will explore the time period of the 1800s and the movement north from Mexico to Sonora (southern Arizona) and the establishment of pre-railroad Arizona cities such as Tucson, Yuma, Prescott, Wickenburg, Phoenix, and more. He will touch on the parts they played in ranching, mining, farming, commerce and the development of the major cities in the state. Dimas will also cover the lesser known influences of New Mexican families in the state's history
Registration is not required, hosted at the Sunset Library.
