sundown poulsbo, part 1 - an introduction -- danielle s. Rueb - castillejo

Laws and policies that enforced racial exclusion have largely disappeared, but de facto sundown towns existed into the 1980s, and some may still be in evidence today.

Names and Fitting In by Diana Frazier

I had recently told my dad I was pregnant; this was my fourth time. The third pregnancy ended in the first trimester, and he was nervous for me to be pregnant again.

Mis padres no eran abogados, médicos ni maestros, mi papá es paisajista y mi mamá limpiaba casas.
