Moreno emerged as a powerful labor activist, so much so that the Guatemalan immigrant received an order of deportation in 1950.
To mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, this Friday's Google Doodle commemorates Luisa Moreno, an inspiring Guatemalan labor organizer, journalist, and activist who united Spanish-speaking communities and fought for better working conditions.
"On my last visit to my grandma in 1980s Guadalajara, Mexico, I requested we use a taxi instead of the local bus. She refused and told me 'we ride with the people.' This experience of riding the crowded buses with 'the people' allowed me to better witness and understand the plight of the people in Latin America," Moreno's granddaughter, Mytyl Playford, told Google.
Upon returning to Guatemala, Moreno began her activism, championing women's rights and successfully overturning restrictions preventing them from attending universities.In New York, she began working at a garment factory, where she witnessed the harsh reality of labor in the U.S.: Low wages, long hours, and rampant nonwhite discrimination.
