History of the life & work of a Yaqui community organizer in 1960s-70s Tucson. Gives an idea of what community organizing looked like in the 1970s (and now too). The newsletters & newspaper at the end were especially interesting & useful in that respect. I've found that anytime a comic artist/writer makes a book about their great-grandparent, the result is good. (see also Soviet Daughter by Julia Aleksyeva). I would have liked an epilogue to show how the community fared after the 70s. Lacking that, I looked at google maps imagery of the area, & saw the I-10 Freeway going by the west side of Ramon’s community, & that next to the church there’s an old mall that looks kind of abandoned.
