My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Latinos In Muskegon
From the Latinos Working for the Future site.
There is a book titled "A New Home in Michigan: The Mexican-American Experience in Muskegon." Many of the World War II Latino workers located in the Ryerson Heights Housing Project, often referred to as La Colonia.
Many of these people had originally made their living in Texas as migrant workers.
