It is unusual and exciting when history can come to life for young people through interaction with those who have lived it. The Conroe Historias Project, created by Maria Jordan, Hispanic Outreach Coordinator of Montgomery County United Way, has connected ten high school Hispanic women from Montgomery County with ten members of the Pan American Round Table of Conroe. The program began in September of 2009 and ended in the February of 2011 when the young women, after extensive interviews and discussions with the Round Table ladies, have written and published their biographies for this inspiring book, thanks to a grant from the Montgomery County Community Foundation.
