Event Details

Join us in welcoming retired federal judge and author Manuel Barbosa to the Dundee Library! 

Mr. Barbosa is the author of The Littlest Wetback: from Undocumented Child to United States Federal Judge, a memoir describing his childhood experiences, his family, and his lifelong commitment to the power of education.

Copies of Mr. Barbosa’s book will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefitting Elgin’s Club Guadalupano Scholarship Fund.

This bilingual presentation for adults, teens, and children is fully accessible to both English and Spanish speakers. Registration is limited.

¡Vengan a conocer al autor Manuel Barbosa! Nos platicará acerca de su llegada a EE.UU. como bebe indocumentado, su niñez y su carrera como juez. Usted también podrá comprar su autobiografía, The Littlest Wetback. El dinero recaudado se donara al fondo de becas del Club Guadalupano de Elgin. Este programa será presentado en español y en inglés, de manera que todos podrán participar. ¡Los esperamos!
