The Journey from Oaxaca to California

Family history project papers: From Oaxaca to California, I always want to know if my family came to California, but I had no opportunity to study their journey. By interviewing my father and grandfather, I learned about the challenges my family faced when traveling to California. This is a story that makes me realize that I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to receive education and the opportunity to write this article today. My family's immigration began when my grandfather moved to California in 1949 under the Bracer plan.

After having a long night, I learned about the journey that Fernando and his four colleagues brought from Oaxaca to find work in America. They first moved to California and found the restaurant's job with the help of other Zapotec immigrants in the area. Then Mexican mixed race recruited them for agricultural seasonal work. Their first trip was to harvest the onions in Georgia, then to Maine for the broccoli season, end at Apple Orchard in Washington State, and then return to California. I contacted another Mexican consulate's Mexican Community Coordinator and learned about other sites. However, despite the explanation of this transition model by Fernando and its long history, there is no policy to clearly address each need.

My trip began in Mexico City, Mexico. My mother is a single mother who moved to the United States, my grandmother left my distant town in the southern state of Oaxaca, I am 4 years old. Her hope is to find a better future for us. My mother came back and in 2004 when I was ten years old and I took a journey of millions of people across the Sonoran desert in northern Mexico. We took hundreds of miles of unlucky miles and arrived at our destination, Madeira, California, to the end

Oaxaca is in southeastern Mexico City, southern Mexico. Oaxaca is home to Zapotecs and Mixtecs and is known for the most important prehistoric ruins in Monte Albarn, Mexico. Located in the center of Oaxaca, Monte Albán is close to the current capital and was built around 500 BC. During early classics, Monte Alban was a powerful politician who dominated the majority of the Oaxaca Valley and the Oaxaca Highlands.

Monte Alban is a large and ancient ritual center located on the hill in the center of the Oaxaca Valley in the southern part of Mexico, about 9 km (6 miles) west of the modern city Oaxaca. The public ceremonial center of Monte Albarn is about 400 meters from the bottom of the valley. Monte Alban consists of a terrace on a wide flat hill extending from the north to the south. The two big pyramid piers terminate the main plaza at both ends, and there is a staircase and a terrace on both sides of the space made up of large stones.
