GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Lupe Ramos-Montigny has been synonymous with activism in West Michigan for decades, but her story didn't begin in Michigan. 'The story started in Weslaco, Texas. My family and I would travel from Weslaco, Texas to Michigan. Mostly to the thumb area and then we'd go to Old Mission Peninsula Just above Traverse City and we would pick cherries. Then we'd travel to Indiana to pick tomatoes. Then we would gather all the family and we would go back to Weslaco, Texas because our father didn't want us to miss school,' she said.
