Definition

  • Congressman Henry Barbosa González was a larger-than-life personality and Democratic Representative from the state of Texas who became the unofficial, and controversial, spokesperson for Mexican Americans in Texas during a pivotal period for that population in American history. Gonzalez's tenure as a public servant was marked by a passionate, and sometimes tumultuous, advocacy for the rights of minorities and the downtrodden, as described in this entry.
