Oral History Interview with Gloria McGuire, July 28, 2016

Gloria McGuire was born and raised in Marathon, a town in Brewster Co., Texas (north of Alpine). She recalled her hometown as a highly segregated community, with a lost of hostility against people of Mexican descent. Her father, an immigrant from Mexico, founded a Mutualist association in Marathon and was involved in several initiatives to protect the community from the worst of discrimination. She recounted that many young Mexican Americans abandoned their studies due to neglect/mistreatment, and those who progressed in their education were usually singled out by hostile teachers and staff. Her education was interrupted by marriage and moving abroad (her husband was in the military). After returning to Texas, she got a degree in education from Sul Ross, and was eventually hired to teach in the San Felipe ISD on 1971, right before the consolidation into SFDRCISD. McGuire provided her testimony of the events surrounding the consolidation and the strained relationships between Del Rio and San Felipe teachers. She also spoke at length about the need to fight to defend bilingual education programs after consolidation, and her role to maintain and expand them.
