Tracks

America - land of opportunity - nation of immigrants.There is a special magic to America. It comes from the diversity of its people.Like the characters in Tracks they come from all over - places like Guadalajara Chapala Chihuahua and Zacatecas Mexico Kirkaldy Scotland Barnmeen Ireland Copenhagen Denmark disputed territory in the shadow of Mt. Ararat in the Caucasus Mountain Range Bremerhaven Germany and Padua Italy.In 1919 when young Pedro Figueroa and Antonio Flores were refused seats to a travelling Shakespearian and Broadway show on a Saturday night in a saloon in Socorro New Mexico the lead actor stopped the show and took them aside. He offered these words of encouragement: You boys got to do the same things my folks did. Work hard. Raise a family. Make sure your kids get to school. Your day will come. This is a great country. Look we got rid of slavery. Things get better all the time. Lives are lived in stages. Look at the caterpillar crawling about making little trackson the ground and then its into a cocoon and before long its flying about a butterfly.Tracks is a testament to the spirit of immigrants who come to America and make it a better place.
