Which is saying a lot considering I'm an atheist. As a Latina, his drive for freedom from the oppression of the right-wing and it's supporters outside the country fired my admiration for him. Here in Texas, it's disgusting that school textbooks have wiped his name and works from their pages. But, the elders in my family know his name and his works and great sacrifice. We'll make sure his story continues to be told.
