Vignettes from the Hill: Deep Roots

The Eagle Pass Campus of Southwest Texas Junior College sits upon the plateau that overlooks the city and maintains a sentinel’s eye over all that betides below. The sprawling landscape carries as far as the eye can see, or at least as far as the larger than life “Bandera de Mexico” that waves just beyond the Rio Grande, and reveals a colorful mixing and mingling of cultures, lives, and stories that demand to be explored, understood, and shared. Viñetas del Cerro: Raíces Profundas are the stories of real lives that have been nurtured and shaped by the persuasive hands of culture and the powerful impressions of experience, and told, not by professional writers, but by students who will become the next generation of storytellers. Collectively, Viñetas del Cerro: Raíces, is their story.
