Description
A welcome contribution . . . The author displays masterful skill in telling the story of the people of San Felipe who over the course of almost a century unceasingly sought to ensure a quality education for their children." - Arnoldo De LeOn, author of Tejano West Texas "Esparza's detailed focus on Del Rio provides a critical nexus on school segregation and the integration of Latinos, whites, and Blacks, using a wide array of sources, especially local voices gleaned through oral history. An excellent and timely focus on today's controversial topics-diversity, inclusion, and equity-situated in an unexpected borderlands place during both the Mexican American and Chicano movements." - Cynthia Orozco, author of No Mexicans, Women or Dogs Allowed: The Rise of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement
