A look at the Republican Senator who continues to challenge the controversial legislation while many are reluctant to speak out. When many people think of politicians, they imagine them as self-serving, insincere and often arrogant. But when you meet someone like Senator Harry E. Coates, the experience of such meeting may easily change your opinion. His abundant simplicity, his human disposition and charisma speak volumes. He appears intent on defending human rights, to see justice equally imposed, to create a realization among his colleagues of an urgency to encourage laws, ordinances and statutes that benefit minorities, which will positively impact the State’s economy and guarantee human rights equality. These seem to definitely be his reasons for occupying a political position the Oklahoma Senate. |

With a firm hand, John C. Lopez builds an empire and a legacy to be regarded. 
John C. López was born and raised in Glendale, Arizona, in a mostly rural community. He still clearly remembers Glendale Avenue, divided by language and ethnicity. Hispanics lived on one side of the avenue and the Anglos on the other. “Our side didn’t have paved roads, had no plumbing, and no basic necessities for survival. It was different on the other side of the street,” López recalls. His parents were rural workers, working on the fields all day. In his free time, his dad worked at a small grocery store. There he learned how to be a butcher, cut and sell meat. As time passed, his dad was able to purchase that same store where he used to work. |
