La RevistaLa Prensa – Otoño2013
TOLEDO: Lucas CountyAuditor Anita López told storiesof her early struggles as aLatina to find her place on cam-pus, as well as her path to per-sonal and professional suc-cess—all part of a message tomotivate Latino college stu-dents during an observance ofHispanic Heritage Month at theUniversity of Toledo.
Ms. López spoke to nearly40 members of UT’s Latino Stu-dent Union (LSU), telling themto focus on their studies andfinish a bachelor’s degree sothey can be successful in aworld where Latinos stillstruggle for acceptance. Thecounty auditor once served asLSU president, during her UTundergraduate days pursuinga degree in political science.
“Right from my freshmanyear, I knew I wanted to getinvolved in government, get in-volved in public service,” saidMs. López. “Most important,though, was staying focusedto finish my bachelor’s degree.It actually took me seven yearsto finish my bachelor’s degree.I spent a lot of time working andinvolved in LSU—many timesto the point where I was not asfocused as I should have beenon my academics.”
But the Lucas County au-ditor told the audience that themost important thing they cando is not just enroll, “but com-plete their education.” Shestated that is “still history be-ing made” with the goal of it“being the norm” to seeLatinos as finance officials,lawyers, physicians, “and thenext president of the Univer-sity of Toledo.”
“It starts right here witheach and every one of you andmaking sure you’re truly fo-cused on your academics,” sheadmonished.
The Lucas County auditordelivered an address full of ad-vice and anecdotes—lessonsshe learned along the path toher professional life, as well asbattles her and other Latino UTstudents fought on campus.Many LSU members—even 20
years aftershe gradu-ated—re-gard Ms.López as atrailblazer,both onc a m p u sand in thecommunity.
“This isvery impor-tant to me,because Ifeel AnitaLópez wasin myshoes,” saidJ a c o bTorres, LSUpresident. “Ifeel shemade it verysuccessful.She is whowe want to be. She is our rolemodel. That is who we strive tobe and we’re glad to hear thesteps she took to become suc-cessful. Her story is like manyof ours. She created a path forus to follow.”
“We are in a path wheremost Latinos stop and that’swhat we need to change,” saidTorres. “We need to continuethe route to success and …useit wisely in order to becomesuccessful.”
The Lucas County audi-tor explained to the LSU stu-dents that her talk was meantto motivate them—becauseas competitive as the profes-sional world is today, “thereare still too few of us compet-ing.” She challenged them thateven if they have set highgoals for themselves, to “setthem even higher.”
The Lucas County auditoralso told the UT students to al-ways be true to themselves,no matter what challenges theymay face personally or profes-sionally.
“For me, that means beingthat feisty Latina who will neverknow her place,” she said tomuch laughter from the audi-ence. “That same person whowent to Dr. Horton to complain
about the Hispanic dropout rateon campus and tell him in a re-spectful way he wasn’t doinghis job is the same person whoran for mayor.”
One example Ms. Lópezgave of being true to who sheis involves maintaining long,black hair.
“I never want anyone tothink I’m trying to blend in.When I walk into a room, I wantthem to know I’m mexicana,”she said. “I don’t want to looklike every other female electedofficial who cut their hair shortand tried to look somewhat likea man. I want to look like aLatino who’s intelligent and ca-pable of running an office. Itbrings me pride and it’s my wayof rebelling a little bit.”
Hispanic Heritage Monthtraditionally runs from Sept. 15to Oct. 15 each year, celebrat-ing the independence ofMéxico [Sept. 16] and otherLatin American countries.
“Hispanic Heritage Month,to me, resembles my organi-zation,” said LSU Pres. Torres.“LSU is a very diverse orga-nization—our members arefrom different countries. Thisis a way for them to celebratetheir freedom and indepen-dence from Spain.”

Poem/Poema:
Canción hacia adentroJulia de Burgos
¡No me recuerdes! ¡Siénteme!Hay un sólo trino entre tu amor y mi alma.
Mis dos ojos naveganel mismo azul sin fin donde tú danzas.
Tu arco-iris de sueños en mí tienesiempre pradera abierta entre montañas.
Una vez se perdieron mis sollozos,y los hallé, abrigados, en tus lágrimas.
¡No me recuerdes! ¡Siénteme!Un ruiseñor nos tiene en su garganta.
Los ríos que me traje de mis riscos,desembocan tan sólo por tus playas.
¿Hay confusión de vuelos en el aire?¡El viento que nos lleva en sus sandalias!
¡No me recuerdes! ¡Siénteme!Mientras menos me pienses, más me amas.
Julia de Burgos, poetiza puertorriqueña.Su nombre completo Julia ConstanciaBurgos García. Nació en Carolina, PuertoRico en 1914 y falleció en Nueva York en1953.
De familia humilde y varios hermanos, fuela única en atender estudios terciarios,recibiendo un título de maestra. Conocidaen la época por sus ideas feministas, ellafue una fuerte promotora de la liberaciónde la mujer.
Su muerte ocurrida en Nueva York acarreóun turbulento sin respuestas; siendotrasladada posteriormente a su tierra natal.

Dr. Manuel Caro onlyrecently has come to termswith his past as a decoratedVietnam War veteran. Buthis poetry and essays re-flect one educated man’spersonal journey throughChicano life and literature.
Dr. Caro will share someof those poems and essaysduring the monthly First Fri-day event to be held at theSofia Quintero Art and Cul-tural Center (SQACC),1225 Broadway, Sept. 6,2013, 6 to 9 p.m. He callsmany of the works he useshis “search for truth and un-derstanding” and the sto-ries Chicanos told “againstthe contradictions and dis-tortions and racism ofpeople who demeaned usin literature and history orexcluded us.”
The presentation will bethe first in a series for Dr.Caro at SQACC, based onhis doctoral dissertation“From Homer to Homeboy:Heroism, War and Memoryin Chicano Life and Letters.”The presentation is billedas “a personal and poeticjourney from ancient rootsto contemporary writings.”
Dr. Caro wants youngLatinos, as well as anyoneelse, to understand howChicano writers had to setthe historical record straightthrough poetry, essays, andarticles like his. He empha-sized he had to “learn onhis own” about the Chicanocritics, because “everyoneelse excluded us from
those histories and didn’tgive us our fair due.”
“Mexican-Americanswon more Congressionalmedals of honor in WorldWar II than any other ethnicgroup,” he pointed out. “Still,in the movies and in the lit-erature going way back,Latinos were never men-tioned. It only reinforced thatwe were always stepchil-dren.”
Dr. Caro, 66, is the old-est boy of ten children, bornand raised in the Old SouthEnd. His mother was preg-nant with him when his mi-grant farmworker familymoved from El Paso, Texasto Toledo. He grew up lessthan a block from Ss. Peterand Paul Catholic Church.He is the son of ManuelAvila and Carmen RamirezCaro.
He was known as agood student-athlete, co-captain of a championshipMacomber High Schoolfootball team, and an all-state wrestler.
Following his militaryservice in the Vietnam War,he continued his studiesat California State Univer-sity, where he earned anEnglish degree; he earneda master’s degree in pub-lic administration atHarvard University; andhis doctorate in English lit-erature from BowlingGreen State University.
During his career, heserved as a professor andadministrator at a number
of colleges and universities,including California State,the University of Toledo, andEdgewood College, a pri-vate Catholic college basedin Madison, Wisconsin. Healso served as a WhiteHouse consultant, servingon a youth employment andeducation task force.
Dr. Caro served hiscountry with honor duringthe Vietnam War, but likemany of his fellow soldiers,suffered from post-trau-matic stress disorder(PTSD). Some of his essaysand poems speak to histime as a Marine Corps In-fantry Rifleman. He spent13 months in Vietnam, ashe put it, “as a grunt whonever saw De Nang orSaigon” but instead fightingin “the villages and the bushand the mountains and thejungle.”
He described “book-end” events in 1966-67 thatmarked his time and“framed” his experience inVietnam.
“My company got wipedout the first week I wasthere,” he said, an event thatmade the front page of theNew York Times. “I was oneof seven people in my pla-toon that didn’t get killed orwounded. We lost 30 dead.It was the biggest firefightsince Korea. Contrary to themyth, because they alwaystalk about how many wekilled, they kicked our ass.”
Dr. Caro was one ofmore than 120 people to

win a Purple Heart for thattwo-day battle, as well asearning a number of com-mendations during his tourof duty.
The event “that senthim home” is the otherbookend: when his trans-port truck hit a land mineon the way to fighting inDe Nang—a group thatvolunteered to protect aconvoy there becausethey had never seen thecity. Three of the six com-bat Marines died that day.Dr. Caro was a fire teamleader—and the explo-sion sent him to “plasticsurgery in a burn ward fortwo months.”
“It shook us to the coreof our complacency andchanged forever how wewould view the world,” hesaid of the Vietnam War.“That’s important.”
A return visit to Vietnamin 2001 and a fight atEdgewood over diversityand inclusion issues ledDr. Caro to resign his postthere, return to Toledo—and a self-imposed periodof “solitude.”
Only recently has Dr.
Caro started to speak upabout Latino issues—andit’s part of the reason he’sreviving his Chicano pre-sentation, which drawsheavily from his Vietnamexperiences and the civilrights movement that re-sulted partially from an un-popular war.
He also employs theracist writings of the last 50years, which depict Afri-can-Americans andLatinos in derogatory ways.For example, many psy-chiatrists blamed a prepon-derance of both groupssuffering PTSD post-Viet-nam on their “troubled, un-stable families.”
“They tried to put the ill-ness off on us, which is his-torically what happens,”he said.
His frustration with thelack of progress on manysocial issues—both lo-cally and nationally—ledhim to a self-imposed ex-ile of sorts. That lasted thebetter part of the last de-cade. But he began toshow up recently at events,as well as work with Latinoactivist Roberto Torres toaddress some inequitieslocally.
“Even my wife noted Iwas too secluded. Part ofthe reason I stayed se-cluded was I had concernsabout what was going onin the community,” he ad-mitted. “There was a needto up the ante. There was aneed for people to under-stand the influence of theChicano movement and allof the things that were re-
ally the fight for justice.We’ve forgotten that.”
Dr. Caro believesLatinos have grown com-placent in Toledo and else-where—and no one isstepping up to raise thedialogue to a “more ag-gressive level” becauseyounger generations don’tunderstand their roots andthe battles already foughtfor social justice.
“There’s a gap. The im-migration issue is an ex-ample. We need to takecontrol of the dialogue,” hesaid. “I want to help estab-lish a mode of critical think-ing, so that other peopledon’t control the dialogue.”
Dr. Caro’s presentationis just the beginning of anupcoming series of com-munity classes where hewill be teaching Chicano/Latino history and culture.The classes will featurereadings and multi-mediapresentations, as well asdiscussions on the art andliterature, plus the political,economic, and culturalstruggles and successesof Latino people.
The classes will coverprehistoric, indigenousMesoamerica, through theChicano/Mexican-Ameri-can civil rights move-ments and how those pe-riods relate to the present.
“Our story is as legiti-mate and important asanyone’s story,” he said.“We’ve been beaten downso much and so long,many lack confidence. Iwant to tell them (youngpeople) that’s not true.”
