THE POWER OF ONE... Enrique Morones' title wins award

We congratulate Enrique Morones for winning Honorable Mention in the Category of best Non-Fiction written by multiple authors in the International Latino Book Awards.

For fifteen years the International Latino Book Awards have celebrated greatness, partnering up this year with Las Comadres para las Americas and Instituto Cervantes. The Premium Sponsor included Libros Publishing and Gold Sponsor Scholastic. Bronze sponsorship came from Atria/Simon Schuster and Vaso Roto Ediciones. Additional support came from University of Arizona and Arte Publico Press.

International Latino Book Awards, now one of the largest award ceremonies for Latino authors, has awarded Enrique Morones The Power of One: The Story of the Border Angels out of the 190 authors meticulously picked from a board of sixty notables. Morones' The Power of One walks away garnished with International Latino Book Awards' newly released Award Winning Author logo.

Morones took to the American Southwest joining and impacting grassroot immigration reform with Undocumented Workers. His memoir, with noted Chicano Historian Richard Griswold de Catillo, unveils the struggles along "la frontera," the border, and proves the possibility toward change and reform.

Congratulations Enrique Morones for The Power of One!
