message: This used to be a very good stub.  But since the 01:42, 30 March 2007 Nobunaga24 version there has been quite a bit of vandalism by User:66.94.97.114 in April 2007.  I have reverted this article to the 30 March 2007 Nobunaga24 version and I will also add the contribution of 18:59, 25 May 2007 Searchme to my revert as well as the contributions of User:195.22.28.18 in May 2007.

replies: text: I dropped the longoria.net external links, which were to a genealogical site that had next to nothing on the article subject, just his parents name. I just don't think they're "meaty" enough to justify inclusion in the article. Also added a bibliography section, there's a book on the Longoria affair. Haven't read it, but since it's University of Texas press, it's probably worthwhile.  Studerby 14:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been meaning to read up on Pvt. Longoria so I can contribute to the article more.  Thanks for the book ref.Chicaneo 00:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: : Beatrice Longoria died in 2008, and it is time to update this story. This is the kind of thing that foments unrest in South Texas, and breeds unnecessary resentments. -- lbravo  —Preceding undated comment added 22:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The unrest in South Texas is due to longstanding issues that have not been resolved and only a full airing of the past can help heal the wounds of the past, NOT pretending they did not happen. Thanks C. W. Gilmore (talk) 08:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem in Southwest Texas, including Three Rivers, is that they have never accepted and embraced the racism of their past, as their past; but are still fighting it.  This is where Three Rivers could learn a lesson from Monroeville, Alabama on acceptance of the past as the past, while not having the future of the town defined by it's past alone.  You can not have reconciliation with the events of the past without acknowledging the events of the past, this is the lesson humanity has learned from South Africa to Canada.  Questions regarding the lack of African Americans in Live Oak Country in the past, must be answered as well as the traditional subjugation and segregation of the Mexican Americans in that area in the past.  When these questions are asked and answered, then and only then can the area past, their past; but not by fighting the very existence of these issues in their past.C. W.

message: It appears that some of these issues continue: , perhaps the continued legacy of segregation in Texas should be another topic or should it be a section in this article?C. W. Gilmore (talk) 18:53, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The American G.I. Forum filed a federal lawsuit against the Normanna Cemetery Association charges that they violated long-standing civil rights protections when it refused Dorothy Barrera in February of 2016, because her husband was 'Mexican' and not allowed burial in the city cemetery.
