Paula Gonzalez

Paula Gonzalez came with her family to South Bend in 1948. They came through the migrant farm track from Texas. As a child, she spent a few months working with her family on the farms. She then spent the rest of her life with organizations that helped make migrant farm work safer and better.  September 15 through October 15, 2017 is Hispanic Heritage Month across the United States. With so much uncertainty facing the children of undocumented workers who signed up for the DACA program, we urge you to take steps to support them. Call your members of Congress. Support local and national businesses that protect immigrants. Volunteer at a local organization.  For more information on how you can support DACA recipients, visit http://www.lacasadeamistad.org/.  Learn more of South Bend’s History from Michiana Memory: http://michianamemory.sjcpl.org/.  Title music, “History Explains Itself,” from Josh Spacek.
