Description
Interview participants:Zoilo Puc Poot Manuel Antonio Canul y Canul At the time of the interview, Dilio Aguilar Puerto was 65 years old (he was born in 1935). He was the son of Adalberta Puerto Sabido, the Treasurer of the “Comité Femenil de Tixkokob” (Women’s Committee of Tixkokob) that existed in the 1940s. A document from Mexico’s National Archives (AGN Galería 3, A1 120/6) confirms that this group existed and that Adalberta was, indeed, the treasurer and worked with the President Ana María Concha and Secretary Remedios Chin. In this document, the women wrote to Mexican President Miguel Alemán to wish him a happy New Year and ask him for Support by sending gifts to give por children in their community on the occasion of Three Kings Day (Dia de los Reyes). Other women in the organization included Paula Carro, Doña Ana María Concha, Magdalena Cauch and María Luisa Velasco, the wife of a hacienda owner. Adalberta was also the friend of Doña Ana María Concha, who was a relative of Don Arsenio Lara, a regional leader of the campesinos, director of the Committee of Ejidal Defense, and head of the movement for Cárdenas in Tixkokob. Don Arsenio motivated the people of Tixkokob to march on foot as far as Mérida. Adalberta and other women accompanied their husbands to political assemblies to protest against the results of municipal and state elections for president and governor, respectively. Dilio also shared that Adalberta was educated through primary school. Manuel García Concha was the son Ana María Concha (Adalberta’s friend, mentioned above). She died March 26, 1974, when she was 84 years old. UC San Diego Library, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/contact) Created with handheld cassette recorder
