Woman stood up for Hispanic rights - Margarita Solórzano-Amezcua - Santa Ana, California

But when it came to what she perceived as discrimination against Latino children, she turned downright fierce and spent the better part of her adult life fighting for their rights.

The longtime Santa Ana resident, who had been honored by Latino-rights groups LULAC and MANA for her years of volunteer advocacy, was 82 when she died Oct. 5 of cancer.”*
