Lucy Gutierrez Speaks Out

In a Harvard Review article, 10 letters selected from president's correspondence were chosen to be followed back to their sources. One of these courageous letters to the president was from  Arizona's own Lucy Gutierrez. A young woman in her twenties, she was forced to live as a second class citizen in her home town of Kingston, Arizona after the devastating Senate Bill 1070 was passed.  Gutierrez, a US citizen, had to make a decision as the de facto matriarch of her family to stay or to leave their home and the persecution behind.

Please read about Lucy's story here.
