Civic Engagement[edit]

Selected Works[edit]
Mujeres de San Antonio[edit]
Being a prolific artist, Terry A. Ybanez has a wide range of works to highlight. Some of her best works include her public murals seen throughout San Antonio, which honor women of San Antonio such as the singer Rosita Fernández to the historic Emma Tenayuca. These murals are collectively titled Mujeres de San Antonio and were painted between 1995 and 1999. The Tenayuca mural was painted first, in 1995.[3]
Corazones de la Comunidad[edit]
Corazones de la Comunidad is the title of the famous Perea Street Laundromat murals. The western wall honors three sheroes of San Antonio herstory: Bambi Cárdenas, Manuela Solis Sager, and María Antonieta Berriozábel. Images on the southern and northern walls curve around large glass windows; rebozeras engage in their art and do their laundry in a river. Witty dichos appropriate for the theme of laundry scroll around the building wall between the windows like ribbons. The one on the eastern wall, the first one painted, depicts Emma Tenayuca, a heroic figure in Tenjana history, famous for her leadership in the pecan-shellers' strikes of the 1930s; she remains in the Tejana imaginary as a powerful role model.[3]
We Are Not a Conquered People[edit]
We Are Not a Conquered People shows the legendary hero represented in her many roles: activist, teacher, organizer, and practitioner of civil disobedience. While firmly grounded in history, the mural goes beyond as it offers an image of a feisty and determined fighter for civil rights.[3]
Further Readings[edit]
In addition to her murals, Terry A. Ybanez has illustrated three children's books: Hairs/Pelitos by Sandra Cisneros, The Christmas Tree/El Arbor de La Navidad by Alma Flor Ada and It's Not Fair/No Es Justo by Carmen Tafolla and Sheryl Teneyuca.

It's Not Fair/No Es Justo by Carmen Tafolla and Sheryl Teneyuca[edit]
A vivid depiction of the early injustices encountered by a young Mexican-American girl in San Antonio in the 1920's, this book tells the true story of Emma Tenayuca. Emma learns to care deeply about poverty and hunger during a time when many Mexican Americans were starving to death and working unreasonably long hours at slave wages in the city's pecan-shelling factories. Through astute perception, caring, and personal action, Emma begins to get involved, and eventually, at the age of 21, leads 12,000 workers in the first significant historical action in the Mexican-American struggle for justice. Emma Tenayuca's story serves as a model for young and old alike about courage, compassion, and the role everyone can play in making the world more fair.[6]
