Spotlight on a Charles Butt Scholar - Raquel Pérez

In April 1995, Raquel Pérez’s family left Edinburg, Texas at 3 a.m. to drive north. In their early 1980s Ford truck, the family of six began the 1,500-mile trek to Benton Harbor, Michigan. They drove for 16 hours, then pulled into a motel to catch a few hours of sleep. They woke up well before dawn the next morning, continued the journey, and arrived in Benton Harbor in the afternoon. Read the full story..

“At a young age, I came to realize that summers didn’t consist of waterparks or family vacations, but rather the reality of migrating as a form of subsistence.”
