“Social activist and educator Gracia Molina de Pick founded the Chicano Studies Department at San Diego Mesa College in 1969.
As part of the college’s 2007 Chicano/Latino Heritage Celebration “A Legacy of Chicana/Latina Leadership,” the Chicano Studies Department will pay homage to Molina de Pick for her contributions to the field of Chicano Studies and social activism in the Mexican communities of San Diego County at an event on October 3, starting at 9:30 a.m. in the San Diego Mesa College Library.
“We’re paying tribute to her legacy in education,” said Cesar Lopez, assistant professor of Chicano Studies at San Diego Mesa College. “She’s our founder and she’s been a leader in terms of education and grass-roots activism. She’s also been a leader in terms of fighting for women’s rights.””
