Juan Flores : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Juan Flores recalls his family’s journey from Tijuana, Mexico, to the United States and growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the 1960s. Flores describes his path to Stanford and the importance of the Mexican-American Youth Association at his high school. Once at Stanford, he was involved in Casa Zapata, Ballet Folklórico, and the Chicano Fellows Program. He describes how important these communities were in their support for Latino students. Flores also recalls meeting his future wife, Katherine Flores and reflects on the evolution of the terms “Chicano” and “Latino.” He concludes by describing his path to a career in education. Flores transferred to Stanford in 1971 from San Fernando State College, now California State University, Northridge. He graduated in 1974 with a degree in English and Spanish.
