For everyone who did the right thing when it was hard, took great courage, or came at great cost. And for all those—like those children taken from their families and put in cages, some of whom will never see their families again—who suffered because of our failure to do the right thing, our willingness to be passive, enabling bystanders, our shrugging and turning away.
And for Karen Olio, the wondrous love of my life.
—Ken Pope
To all those mentors and ancestors upon whose shoulders I stand, many known and many more unknown; to colleagues, friends, clients, and students, from whom I continue to learn; to my extended family, especially my parents, Ofelia Vasquez-Philo and Joe Vasquez, Jr. who motivated not only their family members but others to pursue education and to engage in social justice advocacy; and especially to my spouse and best friend, Jim H. Miller, who has provided the most significant encouragement in my life.
—Melba J. T. Vasquez
To Black and Indigenous people who believe that a better world is possible and continue to fight for it. To Immigrants whose dreams and hopes cross borders and transform this land. Para mi mamá Delfina Chavez-Dueñas y mi familia inmigrante de quien aprendí a luchar, trabajar duro, y seguir adelante a pesar de la adversidad. Para ti Itzael, el regalo mas grande que me mandaron los dioses para hacerme sonreír.
—Nayeli Y. Chavez-Dueñas
To all those who live their truth in the midst of suffering and oppression.
To those committed to the lives and liberation of Black people.
To my mami, papi, mama, and chosen family … ustedes son mi todo.
—Hector Y. Adames
