Before there was an IHOP, there was a university that attempted to revolutionize higher education for immigrants at the corner of I-35 and Cesar Chavez Street.
The IHOP on the corner of I-35 and Cesar Chavez Street was built on the site of the old Juarez-Lincoln University campus.
This led to a lot of discrimination. Students were permitted to only speak English. Teachers were not allowed to teach Latin-American history. Chicano contributions were absent from history books. The cheerleading team was only allowed one non-white student on the team.They organized a walkout, forcing the school board to take up their demands or shut down for the semester. When the school board elections came around, the newly formed Raza Unida Party won most of the seats.
This allowed many students to earn degrees at their own pace, making a college education a lot more accessible for Chicanos. Graduates from the Colegio were expected to join the workforce and give back in the form of educating the next generation of Chicanos. At its height, the university had about 1,200 students enrolled. Leonard Nimoy, known for his role as Spock in the originalseries, is one of Juarez-Lincoln's most famous graduates. The university started off on the St. Edwards campus, but as enrollment grew, it was only logical that it would need its own space.In 1976, the university moved to a repurposed church on the corner of I-35 and First Street .
That same year, local muralist Raul Valdez painted what became an iconic mural on the outside of the building.Raul Valdez painted the mural on the outside of the Juarez-Lincoln building. University's success wouldn’t last, however. Juarez-Lincoln relied on federal grants to stay afloat, like many activist organizations at the time.
