More DescriptionRosie Castro was born in 1947 to a Mexican American mother in San Antonio, Texas. Every Sunday she and her family attended church services. On returning home, preparations for a festive meal were made. Often neighbors and friends were invited.
Despite these happy occasions, heated discussions frequently arose concerning topics of the day. As Rosie got older, she strongly added her voice. Brought up to believe in justice, she finally could not tolerate the treatment Mexican Americans encountered in San Antonio any longer.
