The Texas capital city also supported the emergence of local Chicano artists Raul Valdez, Luis Guerra, and Jose Trevino during the early 1980s. To find her voice as an artist, Sanchez gained inspiration from Austin’s many exhibitions, plays, and jazz sessions. Barraza and Peña emerged as central figures in the development of Chicano art in Texas. Sanchez also met Amado Peña who like Barraza, had studied at Texas A&M Kingsville. On the UT campus, she met Santa Barraza, a talented young artist and graduate student in the University’s Masters in Fine Arts program. Sanchez’s years at UT Austin were key to her development as a Chicana artist. During her years in Austin, she worked part-time as a waitress at the famed Cisco’s Bakery on 6th Street on the Eastside of the city which reinforced her Chicana cultural roots. After two years, she transferred to the University of Texas at Austin where she majored in Fine Arts.

They explore COVID-19’s impact on multiple arenas of daily life-including wealth, health, housing, employment, and education-while highlighting what steps could have been taken to mitigate the full force of the pandemic. The contributors to The Pandemic Divide explain how these and other racial disparities came to the forefront in 2020. Those working in low-paid jobs and those living in confined housing or communities already disproportionately beset by health problems were particularly vulnerable. Black and Latinx populations suffered illnesses, outbreaks, and deaths at much higher rates than the general populace.
