The Big Move Ends Teran Family’s Rural Era in Union City
The Teran family, Mexican Americans from Texas, moved from 2910 Hop Ranch Road in Union City to a new four bedroom home in Eldorado Park California. The family of eleven sought easier suburban life aided by federal subsidized housing. Juan Teran, 39, and his wife Josephine, with nine children, describe a past of agricultural work and dust, and a present of steady garbage collection work and hope through federal housing assistance for a down payment and reduced interest. Their oldest child Grage, 18, shares their story in simple English reflecting its cultural roots.
