==History== Antonio Gómez, a Mexican-American teenager, was lynched on June 19, 1911, in Thorndale following his lethal stabbing of a German-American garage owner, Charles Zieschang. Concerns about prejudice and violence against Mexican-American youths, such as the Gómez hanging, inspired [[Jovita Idar]] to found the League of Mexican Women (La Liga Femenil Mexicanista).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/jca02|title=Antonio Gómez Lynching|date=July 8, 2016|access-date=September 9, 2017|website=tshaonline.org – The Handbook of Texas Online |publisher=Texas State Historical Association}}</ref>
