Looking for Images of Willie Velasquez with lawyers who won voting rights cases 88 times!
The team met with noted voting rights lawyer Rolando Rios from San Antonio (who has an office down the street) and I spoke with Joaquin Avila (MacArthur Fellow and law professor) in Seattle. Rolando told us stories about the lawsuits, the cases, and how everything seemed to change overnight.

A story from San Antonio about a boy who changed the world
One day something happened that Willie would never forget.
It had rained again. That morning, Willie decided he would discover what caused the flooding once and for all. “Vamonos!” He told Rudy. “Adventure!”
The night before, the drums in his head wouldn’t stop.
Why?Where?What?When? Why?Why?Why?
He just had to know where the flooding began.
His mother let him go. Once Willie started on something there was no stopping him. They took some tacos and a rope just in case they found something interesting to bring home.
