(Retired Lt. Colonel in the Texas National Guard; community leader) Recollections of Cleofas Calleros and his defense of the Mexican American. I think that this is a good place to start on researching Mr. Calleros.  Also, I think that we could get Cesar Caballero email and he may have more information.  Mr. Caballero is a librarian who was very active in establlishing a Chicano Studies Department at UTEP and was very active in Mecha, the Mexican American Student activist organization in the 1970s and 1980s.

We'll be using the Be a Borderlands Detective guide to walk you through the steps to find information on your topic, so you can have a look at that before we start.  Also, be sure to check the Potential Topics page where we've put research already found on various topics that Ms. Vise has assigned.
