About Silverio Garcia Jr.

Silverio Garcia Jr was born in Richmond, Texas in 1956. As the son of Farmworker parents raised in the heartland of “La Onda Tejana” around the San Antonio/Fort Bend County areas, Silverio was raised with all those values and passion for helping those in need. Silverio’s family exited the farmworker life when he was born however his family was deeply rooted in the farmworker struggles.

Both sets of Silverio’s Grand parents were born in Mexico………in San Luis Potossi and in Coahuila, Mexico. Silverio lived in a segregated barrio throughout his elementary and high school days in Brookside Village, Texas. Silverio was blessed to have had a very caring Mother, Antonia Lopez Garcia. His Mom was a daughter of a Farmworker Foremen who rounded labor up to work the many fields and “labores” of Fort Bend County, Texas.

Silverio’s Mom was taken out of the public school system in second grade so she could help work in the fields and help bring in an income for her family. Silverio at a young age was told over and over by his Mom that an education in the United States was precious and a very needed thing if one desired to be a success in America. Silverio was never allowed to miss any days of school and became very successful in elementary and high school. Silverio’s Mom instilled in him that everyone deserves an educational opportunity even those in the “fields”(labores).
