When he was just a boy, he saved a man from drowning. Determined to stop the flooding that plagued his humble San Antonio neighborhood, young Willie Velasquez dedicated his short life to increasing the political power of Latinos. In Dear San Antonio, I'm Gone but not Lost, Willie explains how he helped register millions of Latinos to vote, challenged unfair voting practices, and made his mark on the nation's storied civil rights movement. Join Willie on his door-to-door journey from Westside hero to national voting rights champion. Part memoir, part grassroots political action strategy guide, this lively book reveals the steps Willie took that ultimately transformed the American electoral landscape.
