Talk:Mexican American Political Association

message: According to the LA Times article by Ruben Salzar, MAPA's president in 1969 was Abe Tapia. ("Mexican-Americans Threaten Action for Movie, TV Jobs"  January 17, 1969), in Border Correspondent. I'm not sure how to reconcile this info with what is already in the article.
Also there was disorganization in the 80s, which is not yet mentioned in this article.--Rockero 19:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Mapa's Web site has a far different list of the organization's past and current presidents. Nativo Lopez is the current president, yet for some reason this Wiki lists Al Castaneda. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.226.57.23 (talk) 19:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Endorsing a man who is who promotes the killing of our mexican children along with the black and white population.  How on earth does this make any sense, except to say your organization is so misguided and deserves not one ounce of credit from the mexican community, hear my words you are part of the problem, I ask that you renounce your position immediately while you still have time or we will have no MAPA in the future, do not overlook this grave fact, and ACT.

message: My goals are to completely rework this article; it's fairly lackluster as is, and the information isn't sorted very well. In my rework, I plan on keeping most of these sections, adding a section on views towards this organization in the Mexican-American community, a section on comparisons with other Latino political organizations in the United States, and adding/fact-checking various pieces of historical information and descriptions of the organization. Below are some of my initial sources; there is not much information on MAPA easily available online:

replies: text: It's very hard finding information on this org. I left in some of the more important sounding statements that lack citations in the hopes of eventually finding some. I also want to delve deeper into what the organization has accomplished, maybe adding an accomplishments tab.GamersRightsActivist (talk) 04:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
