Generally very good or better: some with postal or ex-library markings; folded horizontally, presumably as issued; a few with small chips or tears at fold and one with a 2" corner chip; several with light edge wear; lightly toned and a few scattered small stains. This is a large group of issues of an important Spanish- and English-language newspaper produced in Lansing, Michigan, El Renacimiento (ER). Brimming with photographic images, Latin American-inspired art, local and national news, the paper covered issues of importance, and provided training in aspects of the newspaper business, to the Michigan Hispanic community for 20 years. ER got its start in 1970, financed through a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development; an interview with the final editor in 1990 revealed that over the years it was supported by state and county contracts, corporations and foundations, eventually "weaning itself from public funding and becoming self-supporting" in ways that included "holding weekly bingo games to raise money." The paper and its print shop trained Latin American residents in computer skills, graphic design, typesetting and journalism; they also printed materials for local businesses, community and educational groups. ER's title translates to "The Renaissance" and a quote on each issue's masthead proclaimed: "Man finds, in the greatness of his past, courage and confidence for the future." The issues on offer here span from 1973 to 1984 and document an array of local events and community efforts as well as myriad issues affecting Latin Americans nationwide. Articles and editorials appeared in both English and Spanish, addressing police brutality, racial discrimination and injustice, support for migrant farmworkers and "La Experiencia del Chicano" in the history of the United States. Issues provided guidance on "la acción afirmativa" and its "promises on paper" for Hispanic Americans, as well as "el proceso del impeachment," bilingual legislation in national government, and political platforms of state and local candidates. Women were an integral part of the ER staff from the get-go, and several issues feature pieces by and for the Latina American, such as "Data on Hispanic Women Workers," "The Chicana Women Yesterday and Today" and an obituary for one of Lansing's first "residentes Mexicanas." Readers were informed when Carmen Rosa Maymi became the first Hispanic Director of the Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, and when Minerva Lopez, a Latina American from Michigan, was hired as a Civil Rights Specialist with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The last issue here also featured the graduating class of the first Coro Public Affairs Leadership Program for Hispanic Women. Cultural events appeared often in ER, with photographic coverage of celebrated Hispanic authors, musicians, poets and artists on visits to Michigan, such as "Fiesta Folklorica," a world-traveling dance company said to "preserve Mexican heritage." There were announcements and images as well of Cinco de Mayo celebrations, fiestas i.
