Today the Search Engine Google is Celebrating María Rebecca Latigo de Hernández's 122nd
Birthday in United States with Google Doodle.
María Rebecca Latigo de Hernández was a Mexican-American rights activist.
She was born in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico.
Today's Doodle celebrates what would have been the 122nd birthday of María Rebecca
Latigo de Hernández, a civil rights leader integral to advancing Mexican American and
Mexican immigrant rights.
María Rebecca Latigo de Hernández was born in 1896 in Garza García near Monterrey, Nuevo
León, Mexico.
Her father was a professor.
As a young adult, she lived in Monterrey, Mexico and worked as an elementary school
teacher.
She got married in 1915 at the age of 19 to Pedro Hernández Barrera.
In 1932, María Rebecca Latigo de Hernández was the first Mexican female announcer on
the radio.
In 1933, she helped open an association to help expecting mothers, which was known as
Asociación Protectora de Madres.
in San Antonio, Texas, where she became one of the leading voices speaking against economic
discrimination and educational segregation that was faced primarily by women and children
of Mexican descent.
Among her many contributions, she co-founded the Orden Caballeros de America (Order of
the Knights of America) a benefit society dedicated to educating Mexican Americans about
their rights.
She also helped organize the Asociación Protectora de Madres (Association for the Protection
of Mothers which provided financial aid to expectant mothers and La Liga de Defensa Pro
Escolar The School Defense League) which fought to replace segregated educational facilities.
In addition to being a powerful organizer, Hernández was also a talented orator: she
became San Antonio's first Mexican American female radio announcer, and spent much of
the rest of her life speaking up against injustice and inequality across both the Mexican and
African American communities.
On January 8, 1986, she died from pneumonia.
She is buried in the plot of the Orden Caballeros de América outside of Elmendorf, Texas.
It was desired for her to be buried there as a symbol from the Mexican American people,
to show respect towards her life's works.
Today's Doodle illustrates Hernández doing what she did best using her voice to elevate
and benefit her community.
Happy 122nd birthday, María Rebecca Latigo de Hernández
