It all started when he saved a man from drowning in a flood. Determined to spare his humble neighborhood from chronic and often fatal flooding, young Willie Velasquez would go on to transform the American electoral landscape. Based on a true story, Dear San Antonio, I'm Gone but not Lost details Willie's remarkable journey from neighborhood hero to American voting rights champion. Through a series of provocative letters penned by Willie from the beyond, author Barbara Renaud Gonzalez offers a fresh view of the civil rights movement from a Latino perspective and shows that heroes are human, too. Follow Willie through Texas and the Southwest, the East Coast, and door-to-door as he works tirelessly to empower Latinos through the power of the vote.
