Documented Dreams
The Hispanic Institute of Social Issues (HISI) is pleased to present Documented Dreams. This book is
an emotive testimony of the plight of a generation of young Latinos who have been caught in a social
dilemma. It is a collection of their voices, their feelings, and their dream. A dream of obtaining
education that has been suddenly altered by a political whirlwind.
Documented Dreams presents the fresh voices of young people, expressions of gratitude and courage
for those who are responsible for their education and for those who are making it possible for them —
in the midst of controversy— to continue taking college classes and to press on.
By documenting their dreams in form of writing thank you letters, these youth are not only confronting
their difficult situation by lifting up their voices. More fundamentally, these young men and women are
giving proof of the type of character and determination they posses. Qualities that combined with their
excellence in education and eagerness to contribute to their communities, demonstrate their
undeniable attachment and belonging to this country, the state, and to the American Dream.
Documented Dreams is the drumming heartbeat of the inevitable coming and emergence of a
generation of the future professionals —teachers, doctors, lawyers, social workers, nurses,
engineers— who will prove their value and contribution of our demographic and cultural reality and
needs, as well as sustain the true ideals of this land of free people.
