Chicago’s pivotal role as railroad capitol of the U.S. is
well known. The history of Mexicans who worked for Chicago area railroads and
LIVED in railroad boxcars is largely unknown. These missing pages of American
History exemplifies the contributions of Mexicans to the development of Chicago
and the Midwest. Dr. Antonio Delgado, program presenter, became interested in
the History of Mexicans in the United States after interviewing his grandmother
in 1975. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois - in Urban
Planning/Public Policy Analysis, specializing in public policy as it impacts
minorities in the United States.
