Arellano, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/people\/gustavo-arellano\">a columnist for the <i>Los Angeles Times<\/i><\/a> and author of <i>Orange County: A Personal History <\/i>and <i>Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, <\/i>discussed his dedication to revealing the hidden histories of Orange County.<\/p>\n<p>Born to parents who immigrated from Mexico to Orange County, one of whom came to this country in the trunk of a Chevy, Arellano attended Anaheim High School, where he faced underrepresentation in the classroom and a silence around Latinx identities and histories of Latinx marginalization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey aren\u2019t teaching people our history because they don\u2019t want us to know our own history and they don\u2019t want others to know our history, because it would dare cast us as humans, as peers,\u201d Arellano told the audience.<\/p>\n<p>During his time at Chapman, Arellano joined MEChA, or Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztl\u00e1n (Chicano Student Movement of Aztl\u00e1n) and began working with communities in Orange County to increase awareness of Latinx presence and history.<\/p>\n<p>Arellano recognized numerous changes at Chapman University since his studies, such as the growing body of interdisciplinary minors, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/minor-africana-studies.aspx\">Africana Studies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/asian-studies.aspx\">Asian Studies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/latinx-and-latin-american-studies.aspx\">Latinx and Latin American Studies<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/ethnic-studies.aspx\">Ethnic Studies<\/a>, and the establishment of the Cross-Cultural Center, reflective of Chapman\u2019s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethnic studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we have here is amazing, but it didn\u2019t come out of nowhere,\u201d said Arellano, \u201cthere are pioneers you don\u2019t even know about. When I became a reporter, I decided I wanted to know who those pioneers were.\u201d\u00a0 Chapman\u2019s MEChA chapter, for instance, pursued the designation of a multicultural center on campus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Arellano first dipped a toe into the world of Ethnic Studies when he began researching hate groups as a student at Orange Coast College. After discovering the history of Ku Klux Klan influence over Anaheim\u2019s City Council in the 1920s, Arellano was inspired to pursue the untold histories of racism and white supremacy rooted in Orange County. \u201cI wanted to tell these stories,\u201d said Arellano, \u201cthat was the first chisel against this wall that I had between myself and getting into ethnic studies, or getting into the world of the truth\u2026 I started delving into history, what you would call Ethnic Studies. To me, it was just history.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With these lessons in mind, Arellano began a career in journalism as an investigative reporter for <i>OC Weekly<\/i>, where he examined \u201chidden history after hidden history\u201d in Orange County, viewing the Citrus War of 1936 as \u201cfascism in practice\u201d against Latinx workers striking for better wages and working conditions. Arellano started a column, what he calls the \u201ccrowning achievement\u201d of his journalistic career, to expose local leaders and prominent figureheads in Orange County as members of the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I was telling these stories, more and more people got angry, but more and more people got inspired,\u201d said Arellano, noting the changes across Orange County that led to the spread of ethnic studies in high schools and in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>Gustavo Arellano urged all of those studying or interested in Ethnic Studies and the pursuit of truth to \u201cstay the course, because it\u2019s going to spread. Know that it\u2019s a big fight. As long as you stick to the facts, go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The full fall slate of programming for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/about\/events\/etw-ethnicstudies.aspx\">Wilkinson College\u2019s 2022 <i>Engaging the World: Leading the Conversation on Ethnic Studies <\/i>series<\/a> will draw on the arts, humanities, and social sciences to analyze the experiences of racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. and tell a more inclusive American story.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pictured in header: The 1936 Citrus Strike in Orange
