Not many know it, but Rosie Castro the political activist is also Rosie Castro the poet
You know her as the firebrand who won’t mince a word about the fascist tendencies at work in today’s electorate, who doesn’t shy from exposing the blatant lies told and taught about the Battle of the Alamo, which she sees as a symbol of slavery and white supremacy. She’s a San Antonio political activist whose contributions stretch back to La Raza Unida third party in Texas, which mounted successful campaigns throughout South Texas , and the Chicano civil rights movement.

Joaquin Castro and his twin brother Julián Castro. The latter served as mayor of San Antonio, housing secretary in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet and is now CEO of the California-based Latino Community Foundation, the largest of its kind in the country.

The poem is a lament, describing how Mexican American women often feel “dismissed,” their real names unknown and all seen as Marías.
