Lucia: An Oral History Spanning 1943-1996

By Lucia D. Rivera-Aragon

In this inspiring memoir, award-winning educator Lucia D. Rivera Aragon shares the story of her life, which includes being deported as an illegal immigrant and working her way from student to elementary principal to college professor, all accomplished while raising a family and coming of age in the era of Civil Rights. The narrative is a record of Rivera-Aragon's lifelong quest to emphasize the value of education, political awareness, and family. Photographs, documents, and mementos supplement this valuable addition to history. "Lucia" has taken me back to my childhood of the 1950s. The blessing of the tamales, the importance of family-memories very dear to my heart. -Lupe Pacheco, Para Professional,District 60, Pueblo
