Now in his late eighties and long since retired, he looks back on a long and eventful life. The arc of his personal narrative is a window into captivating chapters of history in the twentieth century.   He is the child of survivors of the Turkish genocide perpetrated on Armenians. He grew up in post-revolutionary Mexico and came to the United States during World War II. He served as a Baptist minister until he became a political activist and educational reformer during the turbulent days of the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s. He capped his career by creating a nonprofit organization that helps immigrant parents become partners with the public schools in order to improve educational opportunities for their children. This is the remarkable story of an Armenian-Mexican-American.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181433536752,"sku":"9781483676227","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483676227_p0.jpg?v=1763631783","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483676227","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
