- Description:
- Gilberto V. Martinez describes his life as a migrant worker traveling with his family between Texas and Wisconsin. Martinez talks about moving from school to school, working the farm, and getting involved with PASSO (Political Association of Spanish-speaking Organizations) to politically empower Mexican Americans in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He describes raising money to pay the Texas poll tax, finding candidates, those candidates being fired when they were elected, and merchants refusing to sell to the new Chicano officials. Martinez also describes coming to Michigan, enrolling at Michigan State University, and continuing as a community activist. Interviewers are Michigan State University Professor Dionicio N. Valdés and MSU Librarian Diana H. Rivera.
