Summary

La Voz De M.A.Y.O: TATA RAMBO is the true story of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the Mexican American Yaqui Organization (M.A.Y.O.), which successfully lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions for members of the local Pascua Yaqui tribe. Largely due to Ramon's activism, both in M.A.Y.O. and with the Model Cities Program, the Yaqui were successfully integrated into the expanding metropolis of Tucson: families bought property, roads and sidewalks were built, and sewage systems were installed. This resonant, neglected slice of American history is told here for the first time, in graphic novel format. Featuring art by J. Gonzo, editing by Claire Napier, letter art by Bernardo Brice, and a script by Henry Barajas--journalist, comedian, author, native Tucsonan, and great-grandson of Ramon Jaurigue
