Following Member Appreciation Day, members are invited to join us for a discussion with Mexican-American civil rights activist Lupe Anguiano and her biographer Debora Wright. Admission is free for members, $5 for non-members.
From humble but proud origins picking fruit with her family in the fields of California to her success in helping thousands of Americans rise out of poverty and escape the chains of welfare, “An Uncompromising Life: The Lupe Angiuano Story”, is the untold saga of one woman’s courage and heroism in her lifelong struggle to improve the lives of all Americans. Books will be available for purchase.
