Latino friend taught me the value of safety without walls

“I didn’t need for Latinos to hold the largest peaceful demonstration ever in Utah to convince me we need to tear down the Tortilla Curtain. Trinidad Vasquez did that.

Trinidad was born on a snowy Wyoming ranch in 1926. When he was 6 months old, his father was killed by a horse. His mother took him back to her native Chihuahua.

He and his family lived on the south side of poverty. “
