“Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it is much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.” - Dolores Huerta

Jorge Muñoz: The Chicken and Rice Man

If you read my Beowulf Essay and are interested in learning a little more about this amazing man, I have included a couple of links below. The first being a full story on who he is, where he comes from, and kind of why he does what he does. The second speaks about when he received the Presidential Citizens Medal.

I originally discovered this man (accidentally) last year, and he came to mind when I was thinking of a contemporary HERO.
