Sanchez Award, and the Mexican Consulate OHTLI Award for her work with Mexican Americans and other minorities. Rosa Guerrero wanted to be a teacher since the third grade. Her own teachers in the early 1940’s and 1950’s were not kind and did not understand her cultural background. She, like thousands of others, was punished for speaking Spanish in school. This was the reason she became an educator and swore to never punish her students for their racial and cultural differences. http://rosaguerrero.org/
