Eddie Canales

Eduardo Osiel Canales ( ) was an American human rights advocate and labor organizer. Seeking to promote the welfare of migrants crossing the Mexico–United States border into South Texas, he installed some 200 water stations along the border, some along routes used by immigrants to avoid a checkpoint along U.S. Route 281. He also helped coordinate rescue missions and sometimes assisted in the recovery of remains of people who died from dehydration and temperature extremes. He founded the South Texas Human Rights Center, a nonprofit intended to prevent the death and suffering of migrants on the border. Provided by Wikipedia
