- Abstract
- Virginia Medina, daughter of Ramona Medina, currently an elementary school teacher in the Coachella Valley Unified School District. Ramona Medina was born in 1918 in Beaumont, California. The child of immigrants, she became part of a network of Mexican settlers in Coachella Valley. During her childhood, she attended a non-segregated school where teachers punished her for speaking Spanish. A working mother, Ramona also cared for many immigrant family members including her niece Socorro Gomez. Like many Mexican women in Coachella, she worked in the date industry for most of her life. Currently she is retired and volunteers as a teacher's aide in her daughter's elementary classroom.
