Benjamin Garcia Interview
No full textBenjamin Garcia (J.D. 1987) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on July 13, 2021. He was born in Jamaica, Queens, New York, in 1955, six days after his mother left Cuba. Mr. Garcia's family impressed upon him the importance of their Cuban culture, which made him appreciate his familial history. He went to schools in western New York and New Jersey. After finishing high school, he enrolled in the Naval Academy, leading him to several places throughout the United States. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he moved to Panama in the early 1980s. He detailed the gradual authoritarian rise of General Manuel Noriega in Panama, beginning with his ascendancy through the nation's armed forces. Mr. Garcia's experience with totalitarian realities in the Latin American country was one of the factors that influenced him to pursue a law degree. He also had a successful lawyer friend who worked in Miami, motivating him to apply to several law schools. At the time, he wanted to be a law student at an institution close to his first wife's home in Oklahoma, so he decided to attend SMU's law school. In his interview, Mr. Garcia discussed how his Mexican peers resented him for being elected as the Hispanic Law Student Association's (HALSA) president. He explained the often tense inter-ethnic feuds between Hispanic communities like Mexicans and Cubans. As the HALSA president, he secured several scholarships for Hispanic law students without resorting to activist tactics. His politics differ from some of his HALSA peers, who favored organizing strategies over Garcia's preference to work within the school's administration. After acquiring his J.D. in 1987, he earned a fellowship at Columbia University to assist the U.S. State Department in recruitment efforts, specifically for the United States Foreign Service. Mr. Garcia had a long and distinguished career between 1990 and 2018, where he traveled extensively to nations worldwide. At the time of the interview, he volunteered for Catholic charities and gave counsel to undocumented immigrants who are at risk of being deported
