Historical Bios - Gr. 5-9: Spanish & Latino American Historical Figures

Few know about the Cuban woman who, disguised as a man, fought for the Confederates in the American Civil War. Or the 1947 federal court case brought on by a Mexican–Puerto Rican woman that desegregated schools in California—seven years before Brown v. Board. Or the Spanish general whose decisive victories against the British in the American Revolutionary War ensured the Colonies' success. These biographies highlight the contributions of these incredible—and too often unrecognized—Spanish and Latino figures to American history, celebrating the pivotal moments where historical figures with a Spanish or Latino background indelibly changed U.S. history.
