If you look at the banners that surround PCC you'll see images of alumni who have gone on to make their mark in the world after having attended the college. You'll find images of Jackie Robinson, Dr. Adriana Ocampo, Bob Mackie, Jerry Tarkanian, Betti Mae Scott. You'll see many more on the banners and on the PCC website.* This is a bit public history - sharing history in ways that are somewhat nontraditional.
The Escalante Project offers a similar opportunity. The project uses a traditional exhibit - beautifully curated by Reina Prado - as well as a series of panels, a play, a movie as a means to share how he taught, where he taught, and who he taught. How he felt politically about bilingual education - all of this is a part of who the man was and his impact on education in California.
Lawyers, engineers, and teachers that will be participating at the following events. They are, as Luis Torres' has titled his panel discussion, the living legacy of Escalante's work.
