José de la Luz Sáenz (Luz) nació en Estados Unidos y a menudo enfrentó prejuicios debido a su ascendencia mexicana. Cuando estalló la Primera Guerra Mundial, Luz se alistó en el ejército; sin embargo, descubrió que los prejuicios lo perseguían incluso en la guerra. A su regreso a Texas, unió fuerzas con otros veteranos mexicoamericanos para crear la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC), que hoy es la organización latina de derechos civiles más grande y antigua. Utilizando su estilo de ilustración característico y las entradas del diario de Luz durante la guerra, Tonatiuh narra la historia de un héroe de guerra mexicoamericano y su lucha por la igualdad.

English Translation

Soldier for Equality: José De La Luz Sáenz and the Great War

José de la Luz Sáenz (Luz) was born in the United States, and often faced prejudice because of his Mexican heritage. When World War I broke out, Luz joined the army, however, he found that prejudice followed him even to war. Upon his return to Texas, he joined forces with other Mexican American veterans to create the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), which today is the largest and oldest Latino civil rights organization. Using his signature illustration style and Luz’s diary entries from the war, Tonatiuh tells the story of a Mexican American war hero and his fight for equality.
