Description

Barbara Warburton, who was born in Wisconsin, talks about the history of her family and the importance of education during her life. Her mother taught in a Navajo reservation where Warburton learnt the value of education. She moved to Brownsville, Texas in 1943 where she taught biology at the Junior College and Senior High School. In the early 1960s, Warburton read an article that came out in the National Biology Teachers Associations where it mentioned the importance of doing fieldwork in junior colleges. In 1963, the Junior College of Brownsville received three cabins that students could use for field work. Alumni share their recollections of Barbara Warburton. Other interviewees include Juliet V. García, Paula Gomez, Eloisa Thelma Gonzalez, Tony Gonzalez, Manuel Guajardo, Larry Löf, Alma Solis, and Martha Warburton.
