We Mexican-Americans are the descendants of these people. The indigenous Mexican-American was here before our Founding Fathers even immigrated to this land. It is important for indigenous Mexican-Americans to understand our complicated history.

Diversity is America’s greatest asset. It was God’s Plan long before 1492. I am truly grateful that God gave me the opportunity to illustrate the history of the Mexican-American contribution to American diversity on a mural wall at the University of Houston, where it can be viewed by the most diverse audience of students, deans and professors.

Gonzales' daughter. My father, his very good friend Ruben A. Reyna, along with countless others of the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO) of the 1970's painted this mural to make a statement that Mexican Americans thrive on the University of Houston campus and this mural is only the beginning for future generations. Allowing this mural to be destroyed by the UH administration is basically saying that we no longer care about the rights of the Mexican American people or any people of Hispanic descent currently attending UH. I am very proud of the work my father did on this mural in 1975. I make sure to tell all people that I know that attend UH to visit the Cougar Den and see his work. I was very honored and proud of the speech Mario R. Gonzales and Ruben A. Reyna made on January 17, 2012. I thank all who attended and showed their support for saving the mural. The university can no longer claim diversity if it continues with the destruction of the mural entitled "La Marcha por la Humanidad." Please save my fathers work and continue to sign this petition.
