- Summary:
- Attorney Ruth Cusick tells us about Magdalena Aguirre, an immigrant to America from El Salvador. An irreverent storyteller, Magdalena never hinted at the hardship she endured escaping Civil War in her native country. Instead, she created a stable life for herself and her daughter, helped new immigrants, sent money back to El Salvador to construct a compound of humble homes for her relatives... all while caring for Ruth's family with joy and humor. Listen in to hear how this childhood babysitter became an inspiration for Ruth's career as a social justice attorney.
