years would have been in the high school is very bad teachers. the teachers were barely literate. and the biggest thing about these histories was when i got back to the west coast and there was no place for anyone to live. a lot of these folks ended up in conditions than they were in camp because they lived in temporary trailers on airbases and airstrips and on the corners of los angeles county next to northrop-grumman plans. some never recovered. they lived in this temporary trailer camp for the rest of their lives even though before the war they had done great jobs is landscapers are working in factories and then the war all of their money and they lost their houses and when they came back they were living in barracks for trailers than they had in the camp. i have become passionate about this and i always say this to people. i don't really care if people buy my book. i want people to understand this history so if i give a talk or presentation somewhere and maybe my wife will disagree as long as people learn this history and become more informed

and when i think about my time at galleleo high school and the various schools i went to, i can't help but think about during this pandemic what so many kids were going through, right. what would have happened if i couldn't come to school and participate in activities for my senior year. what that would have done to me. i live to walk across the stage and graduate. i would have been completely devastated if i couldn't go to the games and see the boys on the football field. i would have been losing it as a teenager. going through puberty and all the stuff going on here. we used to come across here cutting class to see the boys play and practice and then get chased out of here by the coach by coach white who this field is named after by the way. anyway, i just think about all those times and i think about what these kids missed out on, but i also think about how would i have survived because my grandmother wasn't really as active. you had to study and make up your bed and clean up the house. but so many of the parents joining us here today, you know, your advocacy was not just about your

i was high school. yeah, i you know, we try to stay out of politics someone in the high schools because the teacher did i just was stunned that my parents made that kind of change like, how do you go from because we're catholic john f. kennedy was a big deal. i think when i write about kennedy, i do deeply remember simply that my parents would cut him and bobby kennedy a lot of slack because they were catholic. that like we got a guy in the game and and i do so i don't think was a exaggerated that kennedy inspired catholics that the same way brock obama did for african americans and so how cath your parents we would go to church every sunday a saint rose. i had to go, you know, i deeply avoided doing classes at the church. i did but i didn't like, you know, i thought i did enough by just doing you know going to mass. doing going in doing going to confession it seemed to me enough on my billet, you know, they pushed it a little bit more but rosary beads and the hail mary and our father and it stayed with

which means every high school in the country, including the high school districts here, have to identifyomeless students, and keep them identified. obviously that's confidential information for the schools. but it's information nevertheless. they know exactly who they are, exactly who needs the help. but as they get to the end of their senior year, what we found is that a majority of those students want to enroll, are accepted into postsecondary education, some of whom want to go into career type, other programs -- tech, other programs, but over 50% are dropping off because they cannot afford the period between the end of high school, when the mckinney vento benefits stop, one student aid -- when student aid starts later in the fall, it is too late for them. they've been in poverty too long for that to happen. kristen: the idea is to get them to that point, when hopefully money will be coming on. are you talking about getting the money for three months, $1000 a month for three months, four months, five months, something like that? >> the senate bill calls for payments to start in april,

and when judy got of high school age they sent her to a catholic high school. when she finished there in 1959, they sent her to depaul university, one of chicago's two catholic universities. now, there's no doubt that this was a parochial world that the cahills lived in. they lived inside this type of up myrrh -- upper middle class, lower little class catholic world. there's no doubt this neighborhood out on eddie's street was wrapped around racial expulsion, and discrimination. you can see that just in the picture of the folks standing out here in 1961. and the cahills, at least, their prosperity and their ability to buy the car and tv and to send their kids off to schools, private schools, was paid for in part by the vacuum can's connection to what dwight eisenhower would call the military industrial complex, because the military industrial complex was not all about missile systems and bombers, it was also about industrial strength coffee urns. you also have to think just for a minute about what this world looked like for stella cahill. here was a woman that

kids, if you were a freshman in high school all of a sudden you're going to be a freshman in high school and the last four years you would spend at the camp high school that had very bad teachers. some said their teachers were buried barely literate. so the biggest thing for me in learning about these other stories was when they got back to the west, there was almost no place for anyone to live. and a lot of these folks ended up in worse conditions than they were in camp because there were temporary trailers on airbases and airstrips and on the worst corners of los angeles county. next to smelting plants, next to growing plants and some folks had no money for years and never recovered. and lived in these temporary trailer camps for the rest of their lives even though before the war they had great jobs as landscapers or teachers or running boarding houses or working factories. and then the war stripped all their money. they lost their houses and when they came back they ended up having to live in worse barracks or trailers than they had in the camps. and i'm glad you said because i had be
