Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In this oral history, Lisa Lemus (AB Anthropology, 1974) shares memories of her undergraduate years as a member of the first Stanford class to have a substantial number of black and Latino students . She offers thanks to Luis Nogales, Frank Sotomayer, and others for fighting for the admission of students of color at Stanford and to administrators such as Félix Gutiérrez and María Gutiérrez for their support. Lemus recalls the strong bonds she formed with other people of color on campus and the community that coalesced around Casa Zapata and MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Atzlan). She also speaks about her family’s farm in Sacramento, the activism of her mother Lucy Lemus, some of the jobs that she has had over the years, including her work as the facilities manager for the Bay Area Metro Center and as an educator and mentor. Lemus concludes by urging current students to take advantage of everything Stanford has to offer and to keep the door open for future generations. Today, Lisa Lemus is happily retired and enjoys her time leading park stewardship for her neighborhood park.
