Guatemalan native Luisa Moreno (1907–1992) was a labor and civil rights activist in the United States through much of the twentieth century. She graduated from the Catholic College of the Holy Names in Oakland, California, and earned a reputation as a speaker, writer, and editor. When her husband lost his job in New York during the early days of the Great Depression, Moreno went to work herself, finding employment in the city’s garment industry. There, she helped organize her fellow workers into a garment workers’ union.
