Born in Iguala, Mexico, Fernando Estrada was a high school student in Charlotte, North Carolina at the time of this interview and had lived in the United States for one year. He discusses differences between education in the United States and Mexico, including language, culture, and the role of religion in education. Deeply offended by racist and prejudicial attitudes that he has encountered in the United States, Mr. Estrada encourages listeners to consider Latino immigrants as equal members of society and important contributors to the economy. He also discusses the role of Catholicism in forming his moral compass and building his character.
