Adela Dorado

Adela Dorado is remembered as a significant historical figure whose experiences during the early 20th century exemplify the challenges faced by Mexican migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Her testimony, recounted by historian David Dorado Romo, recounts the humiliating and dangerous practices she endured, such as the chemical baths at border crossings, which reflect the broader context of discrimination and public health measures of the time.
