Event Details

Based on early accounts, this lecture details the historic meeting between Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma II and the fall of Mexico. This was a most significant historical invasion toppling one of the greatest empires in 1521. The way of life once lived in Ancient Mexico (Mesoamerica) was forever transformed by the Spanish conquest. Maria Butler, MA, is Lecturer Emerita in the Department of Chicana & Chicano Studies at San Diego State University.

This San Diego Oasis event is free to attend thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest Branch Library.
