Mexicans in Phoenix
by Frank Barrios
|
Our speaker will be Frank Barrios, author of "Mexicans in Phoenix" which features more than 200 historical photos that detail the Mexican-American experience. His talk will cover a period from approximately 1870 to 1970. As the current debates over immigration issues continue this should be very informative.
Frank M. Barrios is a native of Phoenix and a descendant of one of the valley’s early pioneer families. As president of Phoenix First Families, a state organization for families that arrived in Arizona prior to 1912, Barrios is actively preserving his own heritage.
