“Mariachi Northwestern helped launch the Mariachi Academy, a Chicago Mariachi Project program based at Benito Juarez High School in Pilsen. Most of the students come from households with parents who never attended college.”
Daniel Flores, who fled violence in Lima, Peru, with his family when he was 5, grew up in San Antonio.
