Albert Gonzales came from a family that touched much of the New Mexico History from the 1850's on up through today. Albert, a blind attorney, judge, real estate investor, community leader and much, much more left his mark in New Mexico history with some of his legal cases involving Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Reies Tijerina. Learn why other attorney's in the Santa Fe area disapproved of Albert's fees for service.
After Albert was blinded in an accident, he quickly discovered that any help or support for him as a newly blinded man was almost non-existent in the state of New Mexico. Wanting to continue his life, Albert set out to get an education and build a career to support himself. In doing so, he effected long-lasting changes in the education and rehabilitation of the blind in New Mexico, mostly by his actions to create paths to success for himself and as a result other blind New Mexican's to follow.
