Biographical / Historical

Born in Nogales, Arizona in 1920, Margaret Cruz (nee Herrera) had her birth registered in Sonora, Mexico, and was naturalized as a United States citizen when she turned 21. She was very active with the Latin American and Mexican American communities in San Francisco, especially the Mission District. She co-founded MAPA (Mexican American Political Association) in 1960 and became its first female president in 1973, and was involved in many related organizations throughout her life, such as LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), the NWPC (National Women's Political Caucus) and the Chicana Caucus. When Cruz was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994, she founded the Latina Breast Cancer Foundation to work on improving education and understanding of breast cancer for Latinas.

She attended Lux-Wilmerding Junior College in San Francisco. Later in life, she got a scholarship to Lincoln Law School and graduated when she was 62, after which she opened up a consulting firm for immigration with She died at the age of 86 in 2007 from complications of breast cancer. Her husband, Frank Cruz, who she married in 1950, predeceased her in 2005.
