(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.
