MacArturos, 1995 - 2005
Series Description
The records of Los MacArturos span 1995-2011. In 1995, Cisneros initiated the first “Latino Genius” gathering of MacArthur Fellows from fields ranging from literature, history, politics, labor, and the visual arts. The collective’s goal is the sharing of their expertise with the broader community, primarily through reunions in varying locations where they host public programming and events. The series is arranged into the following: MacArthur Foundation, 1997 Los MacArturos Reunion; Other Reunion Materials; Latino Genius; Video Cassettes; Oversized MacArturos; and Publicity. The bulk of the series relates to the 1997 and 2007 reunions held in San Antonio. Additionally, there are many photographs of MacArturos events and participants in Series XVIII: Photographs – snapshots.
