    A pair of exhibitions at the Autry Museum of the American West aim to prove that Mexicans and Mexican Americans are not “bad hombres,” as Donald Trump said on the campaign trail. The shows explore Chicano identity by documenting activism, faith, community and culture: “La Raza” and “Chicano Male Unbonded.”

    Gerardo Velázquez, Synthesized Music Composer, 1991.
