And for all those—like those children taken from their families and put in cages, some of whom will never see their families again—who suffered because of our failure to do the right thing, our willingness to be passive, enabling bystanders, our shrugging and turning away.

To all those mentors and ancestors upon whose shoulders I stand, many known and many more unknown; to colleagues, friends, clients, and students, from whom I continue to learn; to my extended family, especially my parents, Ofelia Vasquez-Philo and Joe Vasquez, Jr. who motivated not only their family members but others to pursue education and to engage in social justice advocacy; and especially to my spouse and best friend, Jim H. Miller, who has provided the most significant encouragement in my life.

Para ti Itzael, el regalo mas grande que me mandaron los dioses para hacerme sonreír.
