Oral History Interview with Rachel Gonzalez Hanson, July 14, 2016
Rachel Gonzalez-Hanson grew up in a neighborhood straddling the Anglo and Mexican "sides" of Uvalde. Even though she was a very good student, she had to repeat the 7th grade after participating in the 1970 Walkout. While she was very young at the time, Gonzalez-Hanson recalled being highly involved with the local activists, notably Amaro Cardona (MAYO leader in Uvalde). After her early activism, Gonzalez-Hanson remained involved in local politics, helping in Cardona's and Gilberto Torres' campaigns for County Commissioner. Throughout the interview, Gonzalez-Hanson talked at length about race relations in Uvalde, the backlash from Anglos and conservative Mexican Americans, and her later career as a manager of a community health organization covering the Winter Garden area.
