Frances Aldama Martinez first came to Corona as an infant in 1915. Graduating from Corona High in 1932, she spent her life bringing equality to the citizens of Corona. Among her many efforts was the registering of voters, helping end school segregation and she was a key organizer of the Joe Dominguez American Legion Post 742. She passed away in 2003, but her contributions to the Circle City have never been forgotten. Frances Aldama Martinez helped Corona to become a better community for all people. To honor her lifetime bravery and efforts, her name is enshrined in the Library's Community Room. Please join us in celebrating her memory.
