CTN SALUTES VETERANS: CTN COPY EDITOR, A. TORRES, HONORS LATINOS ON ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY
CTN Salutes our CTN veterans, the children, and grandchildren of veterans who served to make the United States a land of opportunity for all Americans. Veterans, like Dr. Hector Garcia and Gus Garcia, led the movement in the late 1940's in Texas and California to provide access to education for Mexican American students by taking cases to the courts to integrate schools and allow Mexicans not to be overlooked because of their ethnicity or surname. Alfredo Torres, CTN copy editor, provides a good historical tidbit honoring Latinos as part of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
