The stories Hispanics recall are born out of a bloodstained era during the Mexican Revolution when hundreds — perhaps thousands — of Mexican-Americans were killed by Rangers and vigilantes.
Stories continue into the ’60s and ’70s when Rangers were called in to break up labor strikes organized by Latino civil rights activists.
Such stories — some confirmed by historians — continue to be a lingering wound for some Hispanics that smarts at first mention of the words “Texas Rangers.””*
