Coming from an environment in which English was not usedI for one had to learn English. for I knew not one word when I went to the first grade. through I was born in San Antonio. But I soon learned that despite the then crude and abrasive outandout discrimination and racial tones of antagonism. that there was an element that my father recognized immediately. My father always inculcated a love and respect for this country. even though he died a Mexican. My mother did not. My mother became a naturalized American citizen. but not my father. And he died at the age of 90. The reason was that his roots go back into the history of the North American Continent in Mexicoover 450 years.
