Former migrant farm worker Alicia Fernandez-Mott is the first woman to be named as U.S. Employment Service national monitor advocate for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, overseeing regional and state advocates who fight discrimination against and ensure training for such workers. Fernandez-Mott, a native of Three Rivers, Texas, says she and her seven siblings had to drop out of school to go to work during the 1950s and 1960s. But she eventually earned her high school equivalency certificate and a degree in business.
