Maria’s contributions have not gone unnoticed. The San Diego Union-Tribune selected her as a Latino Champion recently. In 2015 Senator Ben Hueso recognized her with an Outstanding Woman of the Year award. She received a Save Our Heritage Organization “People in Preservation Award” in 2016 as well as inducted into the San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame in the Cultural/Historian category. In 2017\, she received a prestigious Governor’s Historic Preservation Award for “La Neighbor” as well as the Citizen of the Year Award from the San Diego Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa\, the professional educational honor association. Her book uses 56 personal interviews in which individuals remember their associations with Neighborhood House\, a Progressive Era settlement house\, in the working class and predominately Mexican American community of Logan Heights. The series spans the time period from World War I to the early 1970s. These richly detailed interviews provide insight into a specific San Diego community whose geographical boundaries shift over the course of the series. They also reflect the impact of national events — times of war and peace\, economic deprivation and post-war booms\, changing social mores and the shift from Progressive Era policies and philosophy to those of the Great Society and Urban Renewal upon the residents of Logan Heights. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rita Sanchez\n \n Rita Sanchez is an educator\, activist\, writer\, mentor\, mother\, grandmother\, wife\, daughter\, sister\, compañera\, and lifelong advocate of the Chicana/ Chicano experience.

She earned her BA and MA in English at Stanford University in 1974\, and then\, as a Ford Foundation Fellow\, went on to pursue her Ph.D. in Literature at the University of California\, San Diego. From 1974-1984\, she taught in the Mexican American Studies Department at San Diego State University. She is currently professor emerita from San Diego Mesa College\, where she has been teaching since 1990. She was the keynote speaker at the Gracia Molina de Pick Feminist Lecture series. Her title consisted of her journey as a Chicana in a presentation called “Writing as a Revolutionary Act”. In 2010 Rita was inducted into the San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame as Activist\, at the Women’s Museum of California. In 2013\, she joined the SDSU Committee Chicana: Past\, Present\, Future\, proposed a Tribute Wall with photographs and biographies honoring Mexican American women who had contributed to the U.S. Civil Rights Movement\, bringing change to their communities. In 2014\, she began working on Chicana Tributes. She invited as her co-author Chicana activist Sonia Lopez who taught the first Chicana course at SDSU.
