Brown Bag Lunch Series: ¡VIVA LA INDEPENCIA!: The Role of Hombres a Caballo in Mexico, 1821-1930

In conjunction with the exhibition ¡Viva Mexico!, National Cowboy Museum Curator Michael Grauer will celebrate the bicentennial of Mexico’s independence from Spain by emphasizing the roles of horseback peoples and cultures in Mexican history. Historically, men on horseback have always been viewed as independent and protectors of independence. Throughout Mexican history, from chinacos to vaqueros to charros, hombres a caballo (men on horseback) fought against oppression and became vital symbols of Mexico’s multicultural heritage. Bring your lunch or purchase one at The Museum Grill. Reservations are not required. Free admission to the Brown Bag presentation and The Museum Grill.
