Santiago Baca spent most of his young life incarcerated, involved with gangs
and on drugs. After teaching himself to read in prison, Jimmy discovered a new
way to fight, and went on to write four books and teach at Yale and U.C.
Berkeley. On September 11<sup>th </sup>he came to Berkeley High School to share
his empowering message with students. Following his presentation, he met with
the Chicano/Latino Studies class, encouraging the students to excel and to
become leaders. He also donated an on-line series of classes to the program,
and offered access to workshops and internships to students enrolled in
Chicano/Latino Studies. This was in addition to waiving his usual honorarium for
the visit.</span></span></p>
