From Marfa Public Radio:
In the early 1900s, a tragic event took place on the West Texas borderlands. Friday at the Presidio County Courthouse in Marfa, the “Porvenir Massacre” will be memorialized by the Texas Historical Commission at 2 pm – a long process that’s been wrought with controversy.
For the descendants of Porvenir victims, understanding this tragic and painful history is a process that’s taken more than 100 years.
