Mexican American Family
title Mexican American Familydescription Joseph Alatorre (center) with his children, Cecilia Maria (left) and Richard (right), future California Assemblyman and Los Angeles City Councilman. Mary Alatorre, nee Martinez, was born in 1918 in the small mining town of Parker, Arizona. Her family arrived in the Los Angeles area around 1922. Growing up, Mary lived with her grandmother, Antonia Rico. In 1930, they lived on the 2200 block of Elmgrove Street in the Elysian Valley neighborhood, then by 1940 they lived on the 2200 block of Terrace Heights Avenue in Boyle Heights. Mary dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and worked as an operator (aka beautician) in a beauty shop on 4517 Brooklyn Ave for Frances Alatorre. Frances was active in the community and helped organize the Mexican Independence Day parade held on September 16 1940. During Mary's time working at the beauty shop, she met Frances' sister, Joseph (Jose) Alatorre. Mary and Joseph married in August 1940, and had two children: Cecelia Marie and Richard. Both children graduated from James A. Garfield High School. Richard went on to become a California state assemblyperson from 1973-1985, then was elected to the Los Angeles City Council from 1985-1999. Cecelia worked as a campaign aide for Richard, and her name appeared over the years in the Los Angeles Times in conjunction with public activities, such as a reception for the Hispanic Bankers Association, and participating on a discussion panel for women in business and science as part of Hispanic Women's Week.subject Shades Of L.A.

Outstanding Women Of Los Angeles
title Outstanding Women Of Los Angelesdescription Attendees of the Outstanding Women of Los Angeles program held at the Biltmore Hotel on April 2, 1948. Identified among the guests are Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson (right of center, with carnation corsage) and Eddie Rodriguez (lower right). Pete Rodriguez was born in Sonora, Mexico in 1919, and came to Los Angeles in 1923. His family moved to California as political refugees due to his father’s involvement in the 1910 Mexican Revolution. His family lived in “Sonoratown” near Macy and Olvera Streets before later moving to Boyle Heights. In 1925 his family moved to Catalina to join his uncles, who were some of the many Mexican laborers who built Avalon Bay. His father returned to Mexico to participate in the Partido Liberal Nacional (National Liberal Party) and Pete moved with his family to Orange County, then later returned to Boyle Heights in 1931. He attended Stevenson Junior High and Roosevelt High School, from which he graduated in 1937. His mother worked long hours as a seamstress to provide for her family during the Depression. Pete enlisted in the Army in 1943 as a paratrooper, but due to a bad knee was placed in limited service and left after 12 weeks. He worked as a lumberjack until 1946, when he returned to Los Angeles. He met and married his wife, with whom he had three children, in 1947. He began working in radio in 1949. He and his brother, Eddie, worked for KPMO and KFVD and hosted a show called “Buenos Días.” They later began to produce television shows and movies, such as “Fandango” on CBS and the Academy-Award nominated “The Cadillac.” In the 1960s Pete joined a group called Justicia, which advocated for justice for Chicanos in the film industry. Pete was hired at ABC through his involvement with Justicia. He worked as the Community Affairs director and was involved with any issues regarding Mexican or Chicano people at ABC.
