On February 2, 1848, a Mexican delegation ratified the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, with Mexico accepting the Rio Grande as the
Texas border and ceding almost half its territory (which incorpo-
rated the present day-states of California, New Mexico, Nevada,
and parts of Colorado, Arizona, Utah and even Oklahoma) to the
United States in return for $15 million.Cervantes and Barraza
collaborated on designing the promotional flyers and a com-
memorative screen printed poster for the annual Bay Area Treaty
of Guadalupe “remembrance” event organized by the grassroots
group Huaxtec.
