Adelina in the Fight for Bilingual Education


Adelina Otrero-Warren was an accomplished woman in many ways. Advocating for bicultural education is only one of them. She called for a curriculum than incorporated the customs and traditions of Hispanos. She fought for equal education for Hispanas and vocational training in traditional Hispano art and crafts. She spent her life promoting bilingual education and felt that it broadened her students perspectives. Hispanos today could learn a lot from Adelina's example, and should continue to advocate for equal education for all.
