It is appropriate that Pueblo be the location to talk about the
stories of Hispanic migration after World War II. All of the
little villages in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado
emptied out after the war. The young men wanting to start
families moved to where there was work, many to Pueblo to work
at CF&I, Pueblo Army Depot and other places of opportunity. This
book is everyone’s story. It tells the story of many journeys
from the small farms of the San Luis Valley and beyond, to a
life out of poverty. Hispanic children have assimilated into
American society and like other ethnic groups that came to
America, the land of promise and hope, are melting into history.
Presented by Danny Quintana, author of Caught in the Middle,
Stories of Hispanic Migration and Solutions to America’s
Immigration Dilemma.
