Border Angels - The Power of One (Misael Virgen)

The Power of One: The Story of the Border Angels by Enrique Morones, Richard Griswold del Castillo Check it out on Amazon.com

Founded in 1986 by Enrique Morones, Border Angels is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to undocumented immigrants. After assisting migrants who were living in the canyons of North County San Diego in 1986, Enrique Morones and the Border Angels expanded their operation a decade later by going out to the desert to place water for undocumented migrants crossing the border in search for better economic opportunity and family reunification.

Today, Border Angels is actively involved with bringing awareness and support by educating citizens and government dignitaries on the status of weather related deaths and racial-discrimination.

Book Description: In the American Southwest and its borderlands, no other social justice advocate has made a greater impact on the lives of undocumented workers than Enrique Morones.

In THE POWER OF ONE, Morones tells his own story (with noted Chicano historian Richard Griswold del Castillo) and the result is a book that captures the singular memoir of someone who took the chance to make a difference in the lives of people in Mexico, in the United States, and most importantly, along the U.S./Mexico border, la frontera.
