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.
