Julian Samora  

Definition

  • Julian Samora was the first Mexican American to earn a doctorate in sociology and anthropology in the United States. His pioneering research in the areas of public health, rural poverty, civil rights, and immigration illuminated the debilitating conditions facing Mexican Americans as a minority group, and his work as an educator, consultant, and policy advocate helped set in motion efforts to address those conditions and provide wider opportunities for Mexican Americans.
