Today, I wanna talk about this guy, Csar A. Cruz. I stumbled upon his name while surfing the net, and I thought, “Who’s this dude?” So, I started digging around.

First, I hit up the usual spots – Wikipedia, you know, the basics. Turns out, Csar is this big shot in fighting against gang violence. Plus, he’s the Dean of Secondary Schools Program at Harvard. Not too shabby, huh? The guy was born in Guadalajara around 1974 and came to the States as an undocumented immigrant when he was just 9. He got a B.A. in history from UC Berkeley and even snagged a doctorate in education.
Then, I moved on to some other websites. I found out that Csar’s not just about books and degrees. This guy’s been in the trenches. He marched for 76 miles straight, and get this – he even went on a hunger strike for 26 days! All to fight for justice. I mean, that’s some serious dedication.
The Search Continued…
I wasn’t done yet. I wanted to know more. I found his official website, but honestly, it was more of the same, so I didn’t stick around there too long.
- Wikipedia – Checked.
- Other random sites – Checked.
- Official website – Briefly checked.
Next, I went down the rabbit hole of social media, looking for anything and everything related to Csar. I found a few posts mentioning his activism, some folks calling him an unsung hero, you know, the usual online chatter.
Putting It All Together
After spending hours on this, I felt like I had a decent picture of who Csar A. Cruz is. He’s a fighter, an advocate, and an educator. He’s walked the walk and talked the talk. He’s not just someone sitting behind a desk; he’s out there making a difference.

I even found a book he wrote, “Revenge of the Illegal Alien: A Mexican Takes on the Empire.” I haven’t read it yet, but it’s definitely on my list now. It looks like he’s got a lot to say, and I’m interested in hearing his perspective.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into Csar A. Cruz. It was a good use of a day, I’d say. I learned about someone doing good in the world, and that’s always a win in my book.
