Jorge García : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- <html>In this oral history, Jorge Garcia (AB Spanish, 1978) recalls memorable events from his time at Stanford and some of the academic and social challenges he experienced, including learning how to swim despite a great phobia of entering the water. Garcia also talks about his participation in protests, such as advocating for affirmative action after the Regents of the University of California vs. Bakke decision, a sit-in at the Old Union, and picketing at Safeway. He mentions how his association with MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Atzlan) and Casa Zapata helped to prepare him for future policy and advocacy work and speaks about his post-Stanford years, including the circumstances that ultimately led him to a career in public education. He concludes the interview by emphasizing the importance of language diversity and encouraging students to give back to their communities. Today, Jorge Garcia is the executive director of the nonprofit Colorado Association for Bilingual Education. </html>
