Compton in My Soul - Personal Story of Racial Equality - TeenHQ

“When Albert (Al) Camarillo grew up in Compton, California, racial segregation was the rule. His relatives were among the first Mexican immigrants to settle there—in the only neighborhood where Mexicans were allowed to live.” In his memoir, Compton in My Soul, Al weaves his personal story of growing up in Compton in the 50s and 60s with histories that illuminate a changing US society with all its progress and backslides in racial equality and educational opportunity.

YOU are invited to join us for this special opportunity to meet and hear Stanford professor Al Camarillo—the first Mexican American in the country to earn a PHD in Chicano/Mexican American history—address our nation’s progress in building racial equality and educational opportunities while sharing stories of being a child, teenager and adult during dynamic decades of radical social evolution.

Free Program. Teen and Adult Audiences welcome in TeenHQ for this program. Registration required.
