"I chose Angel Delgadillo for my Heroes of Hispanic Heritage in my 6th grade Social Studies class. I'm here with my mom on a Grand Canyon and Route 66 road trip. I chose him because I loved all the contributions to the United States by starting the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona."
-Jake Lipnos, September 27, 2026, age 11 from Gardena, CA
Using Angel's book The Road To Happiness, his interview with Angel’s daughter Clarissa and a few online sources, Jake created a beautiful project on Angel and his contributions to Route 66.
Angel was honored as Arizona Historymaker in 2023. Listen to him tell his story at https://historicalleague.org/historymakers/angel-delgadillo/
Thanks to Angel & Vilma Delgadillo Original Route 66 Gift Shop Newsletter for the information.
