Tens of thousands of families from Mexico came to Texas to escape the revolution that left their motherland in shambles. This exodus jumpstarted today's Latinization of Texas and America's Southwest. "The Children of the Revolucion" tell the stories of their ancestors who risked it all to make this journey, helping to make America stronger & prouder & better.
