Colegio Jacinto Trevino was established in October of 1970, in Mercedes TX, and existed through 1976. It was the first Chicano College, sponsored by Antioch but having total control of facutly, curriculum and all its actions. The first degrees they awarded, which also continue with a spin-off Juarez Lincoln in Austin. It was documented in the doctoral dissertation of Carlos Cantu, and in several master theses. It is currently the subject of a doctoral candidate. I was co-founder of Jacinto Trevino and we are a cluster of about 15 that organized it and put it together.
