I did a little research and found the following. Evelyn

First Link:

YNES MEXIA

Mexican-American botanist Ynes Mexia
<http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/library/special/bios/Mexia.p
df>  discovered two new plant genera and 500 new plant species—and she
didn’t even start collecting plants until she was 51 years old. Born in 1870
in Washington D.C. to a Mexican diplomat father, Mexia
<http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000033443>  spent
many years as a social worker before enrolling as an undergraduate at the
University of California Berkeley and discovering her passion for botany. In
the 1910s and 1920s, she traveled thousands of miles around Mexico, South
America, and Alaska, collecting some 145,000 plant specimens in just 13
years. Today, 50 plant species are named for her.

ALBERT BAEZ

Father of singers Joan Baez and Mimi Fariña, Mexican-American physicist
Albert Baez <http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/27/obituaries/27baez.html>  was
the co-inventor of the X-ray reflection microscope. Though he created the
device, which allows scientist to examine living cells, in 1948, it’s still
considered a crucial scientific tool to this day. A pacifist, he refused a
series of defense industry positions during the Cold War arms race, instead
conducting research and teaching physics at the University of the Redlands,
Baghdad University, MIT, and Harvey Mudd College.  

HELEN RODRÍGUEZ TRÍAS

Born in New York City in 1929, Puerto Rican-American pediatrician and
healthcare advocate Helen Rodríguez Trías
<https://www.nlm.nih.gov/changingthefaceofmedicine/physicians/biography_273.
html>  helped improve access to public health services for women and
children in both the United States and Puerto Rico. She was the first
Hispanic president of the American Public Health Association as well as a
founding member of the Committee to End Sterilization Abuse, an organization
that fought against the practice of forced sterilization. In 2001, she was
awarded the Presidential Citizen’s Medal for her work on behalf of people
with HIV and AIDS.

Dear Fellow Directors,

Does anyone have some postings we can share in celebrating Hispanic Heritage
Month that are Extension related?  I know in the past, I have found several
websites and postings for Black History Month related to Cooperative
Extension.

If you have anything, can you please share.

Thanks,

Ed
