Based on the documentary Porvenir, Texas, why is the testimony of Juan Flores and other Porvenir descendents significant in Mexican American history? (Only ONE answer is correct.) A. With the testimony of Juan Flores as an elderly man, the descendents of the village of Porvenir are satisfied that the government has done enough to bring this matter to a close and this massacre never has to be mentioned again. B. Without Juan Flores' testimony, late in his life, on videotape, we would not have the corroboration of Harry Warren's recordings from 1919. These primary sources show that the actions of the Texas Rangers and U.S. military, killing innocent Mexican Americans, were part of racially prejudiced, state-sanctioned violence. Juan Flores' testimony also shows the courage it took to finally fight back against the brutal violence of the Texas Rangers.
