Sandra Esther Avalos Ortega. Born in Michoacán, Mexico, Sandra Esther Avalos Ortega came to the U.S. in 1996 at a young age. Even before she received protections through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals* (DACA) program, Sandra dedicated herself to empowering disadvantaged youth in her home city of Dallas, Texas. She entered the advocacy space to fight for the rights and safety of immigrant families like hers and to ensure that all people in the Lone Star State can live long, happy, and prosperous lives.
In border states like Texas, immigrants and their families are often the backbones of their communities, but they are frequently the targets of persecution by local politicians and police, making them feel unsafe. In response to this maltreatment, young immigrants and allies have formed local networks to defend immigrants’ rights, meet the needs of their own communities, and join together against attacks on their well-being. In that spirit, Sandra joined a group of young immigrant activists in the Dallas area known as the North Texas Dream Team*. Today, as the group’s vice president, Sandra is helping lead their efforts to empower immigrant communities in the north Texas area—providing legal defense and financial assistance to those in need and holding state and local leaders accountable through mass mobilization.
Sandra is a Millennial and self-proclaimed powerful, unapologetic Latina who fights to empower her community—especially young immigrants. She’s also the proud mother of a ten-year-old daughter, Judith, who shares her mother’s activist spirit.

Jonathan Angulo is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. His research focuses on the history of the Imperial and Mexicali Valley in the California Borderlands, which he grew up in. He observes how immigration and the intersection between the formal and gig economy affected the Asian and Mexican communities along the U.S.-Mexico borderlands between 1917 and 1980. He enjoys participating in oral history projects because they help create records from the perspective of often neglected populations. He currently serves as a board member for the Dallas Mexican American Historical League and the Hispanic Alumni of SMU.

In this episode of the chronicles of Dallas Barrios podcast Joven Historian Noah Macias interviews his grandmother, sharing the story of how she came to Oak Cliff. Later a few of the emerging historians will discuss topics related to immmigration / migration in the US.
During the 2020-2021 school year, a group of students from Sunset High School's Mexican American Studies course partnered with the Dallas Mexican American Historical League to record the narratives of immigrants and migrants from Oak Cliff.
Noah Macias, a then high school student at Sunset High School, in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas and Joven Historian of DMAHL, interviews his Grandmother, sharing the story of how she came to Oak Cliff. We would like to provide a warning for this episode. Noah’s Grandmother says a word that has been used in the past to describe people with an intellectual disability in order to inflict exclusion. This was something that at the time people wouldn’t bat an eye at, but since this word equates intellectual disabilities with being dumb or stupid it will not be inlcuded in the episode, and is now considered hate speech. DMAHL appreciates the value in sharing hard truths and the importance of acknowledging how people were treated in the past because those values are still reverberating around our society and impacting the present day. With that context please listen with compassion and a curiosity to learn about people in their uniqueness despite stereotypes.
