In 1918, Texas, along with many other states, enacted statutes that made the speaking of any language other than English on public school grounds illegal. These laws remained active until the US Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act in 1968. Through personal interviews with distinguished leaders and educators -- all native Spanish/English-speakers -- "When I Dream Dreams" explores the complex psychological and social effects of these laws by relating the experiences of these...

This digest provides a history of American bilingual education in Spanish from the late 1950's onward, to help educators serve Mexican American students. From 1958 to 1968 curriculum reforms influenced by the launch of Sputnik combined with an influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants from Cuba to effect development of bilingual programs in south Florida public schools; such programs were copied in other areas. Successful programs in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California led to increased...
