“Tenacity.”
In his autobiographical testimony, a distinguished civic leader tells the story of how witnessing the abusive arrest of his green-card father during an immigration raid as a young child left deep emotional scars that shaped his future as a public lawyer for the poor. He shares lessons about his journey from growing up as a border kid to the student walkouts in the 60s to a career in public service as a public defender for people in need and his rise as an elected City Mayor.
Guest: José Rolando Villarreal, Former Chief Public Defender, Former Mayor, Author of “Tenacity: An Immigrant’s Stories of Leadership, Navigation and Adaptability in Realizing the American Dream,” Fresno, CA.
