- In Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month - Una Noche de Cultura: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage at the Historic Padua Hills Theatre, September 18, 2024. The following films produced by Claremont Heritage were shown:
o Stories from the East and West Barrios - produced by Olivia Klipfel, recognizes the two barrio neighborhoods as a vital part of the Claremont community and its history. This project first developed in collaboration with community consultants John Dominguez and Lydia Henry, both long-time residents of Arbol Verde the historic name of the east Barrio. With generous grant funding from the California Humanities, we have now conducted 13 oral histories, digitized over 300 photographs, curated a comprehensive historical exhibition, and created a short documentary film on the barrios. These materials will be made available to the public to view through the Claremont Colleges Digital Library and the Online Archive of California, where community members, researchers, and students can learn about this history through primary sources.
o The Mexican Players - produced by Eddie Gonzalez, were a community theater group of local Mexican American youth and adults who were both staff and performers at the Padua Hills Theatre, a small community dinner theater in the foothills above Claremont, built in 1930 by Herman and Bess Garner. The group performed Spanish language plays, romantic comedies and historical dramas with a Mexicantheme from 1931 to 1974 (Garcia, 2001). The Mexican Players were the longest running Mexican theater group in the history of the United States.

Pialli-Hi
Gente de Claremont,
I appreciate you all sharing your very precious memories of growing up in your beautiful barrior de Claremont, CA.
It’s imperative that you all keep your stories alive because this rich history isn’t always told nor known to others due to erasure.
I’m Xikana and
I grew up in
Boyle Heights /
Los Angeles. A few years ago my sistarz and I hosted an Indigenous Peoples Day celebration to share, educate, connect and honor the original people (Tongva) of that territory as well as all native territories and people. We all had a blast especially singing our prayers around the ceremonial drum. Unfortunately because of ignorance, fear and racism, we were not welcome back to host a second Indigenous Peoples Day. We all are part of the web of life, therefore we must learn to co-exist!

My Grandfather had a small market at the corner of Mednik & 1st, across from Belvedere Park
The annual Chumash Day Powwow in City of Malibu is 2 day outdoor event each April. Held at Malibu Cliffs Park. Contact City of Malibu. I have filmed in numerous times, the usually have a calpulli group to perform. It is an intertribal powwow, all tribes.
Born in Texas , but I love California.

We’re here, we’ve been here and we’re not going anywhere
Whites people mined explored
Go ahead and vote for the Orange Face Baboon and we will see.
There was a huge Mexican parade and festival near the DC Mall yesterday. Very long and colorful.
The music was powerful and amazing.
It almost felt like a dare to Donald Trump and MAGA. Go ahead and try to deport us. Go ahead and try!
@@yvonneplant9434 those type of parades gives us a bad name. We should have also respect for the country where we live in.. this country gave us the financial opportunities we were looking for and more. For those reasons I would never join any of these events.
If I was in Mexico and there was ppl from another country flying their flags left and right, it would be disrespectful.. we shouldn’t forget where we came from but let’s show respect for this nation that has given us so much 🇺🇸
@@danieldelrancho5749 the can't deport us all does European Americans are so funny
UNITED we STAND
What a nice video! I like the history a lot 💯💯
My grandparents owned the first hotel in Claremont, 144 Berkely Ave., Claremont, CA. The Lemon packing house was right next to their home. Now, the Claremont Police Department stands.
What a touching story.
This is amazing
Claremont area, Mount San Antonio is the peak to north of downtown. I filmed powwows on a grassy field on northwest corner of the campus. The town is nice, clean, mellow.
Que belleza ❤❤❤❤
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍 😍💃
A lot of people forget that cities like Claremont, San Dimas, La Verne all had their Barrios. I grew up in "La Colonia" part of San Dimas and it seems that only we knew these small local city's real histories. Props to you for this, keep on telling our people's story!
My grandparent's names were Esteban & Maria Gonzalez, 144 Berkely Ave., Claremont, CA. Then the Banuelos Sisters took care of the priest's house at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, Claremont, CA.
I loved seeing this!!!! What beautiful preservation of our heritage.... Monte claro oh claro Monte?

Yeah, a lot of people never left the barrio a lot of Hispanics Latinos, and in constantly reminding us about the barrio, you continue perpetuating a lack of progress of many of us, Latinos by focusing on the past and how they posed in pictures dressed like in the 50s and so on. It’s like that whole Lowrider street gang kind of thing going on where it’s like it’s not 1974. It’s 2024. The point of my common is that we’re constantly reminded that we can never really go beyond the bar. Therefore other Latinos that work hard through college work hard to evade all that pulls them back down to Progress and are always pulled back down and we’re given limits.
That’s what this reminds me of constantly. And it’s a battle constantly to say no I don’t buy into this. I want to move ahead.
