On the evening of January 28, 1918, a dozen Texas rangers, accompanied by eight U.S. Calvary soldiers and some Anglo American ranch hands descended on the village of Porvenir,Texas, just north of the U.S.Mexico Border. They pulled fifteen Mexican American men from their homes, two were under sixteen years of age, and summarily executed them. José Angel Gutiérrez, Director of the Greater Dallas Legal and Community Development Foundation explains what happened in what has become known as the Porvenir Massacre.
