This week’s guest is Humberto G. Garcia, a San Antonio attorney, avid golfer, and author of "Mustang Miracle," a book chronicling the inspiring small-town Texas story of five Mexican-American caddies in segregated Del Rio who overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to form the San Felipe Mustangs Golf Team. Overcoming racism, exclusion, and poverty in a deeply segregated city and state, they went on to win the 1957 State High School Golf Championship.
Garcia’s book has become a major motion picture titled “The Long Game” scheduled for nationwide release on April 12, 2024. The film is directed by Julio Quintana and stars actors Jay Hernandez, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Dennis Quaid, and Julian Works.
