Ford Foundation funds under fire in Mexican-American unrest
Congressman Henry Gonzalez accused the Ford Foundation of backing militant groups and hate literature among Mexican-Americans on the Texas border. He cited grants to the Southwest Council of La Raza and MAYO, describing a campus style University of the Barrio and a hostile climate that spurred fear and calls for elimination of whites. The remarks, echoed by Human Events, label foundation actions as anti-market and disuniting despite benevolent aims.
