Yolanda Lopez ( 1942-2021) was a artist, filmmaker and educator and a staunch advocate for Latinos and Latinas. In 1981 she challenged the notion that America was founded by Anglo Saxon “pilgrims,” a narrative that ignored the fact Native people were in America hundreds of years before the Mayflower. In 1981 she created an iconic graphic which took on this myth, “Who’s the Illegal Alien, Pilgrim?”
