Dolores Huerta Labor Institute

On November 5, 2009, author Susan Philips came to a Sociology class taught by Pat Allen at LA Valley College.  Susan spoke to students about the process of writing her book, "In the Heart of Another: Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories" and the lessons learned from the women whose stories she tells in her book. 

Students in the class had the opportunity to ask questions and to share their own stories about experiences they had living in this country as immigrants or as those who know immigrants.  Ms. Philips enjoyed her experience with the students and is due to return to speak to students at LA Southwest College next spring.
