History
Carolina C. Garzón was a Cuban educator and social worker. Starting in 1926, she taught mathematics in a private primary school and Social Studies in a private high school in Cuba and worked on developing new school programs, collaborating on a book about the topic.
In the 1950’s, Garzón worked as a Social Worker in Miami and Tallahassee. She also acted as a supervisor of the Pedro Pan program, which was a clandestine operation that from the years 1960 to 1962, brought 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors of ages 6 to 18 to the United States. Using the social histories of her clients, she worked on publishing a thesis called “A Study of the Adjustment of Thirty-four Boys in Exile,” which she wrote in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work in December, 1965 at the Graduate School of Florida State University. The thesis, eventually published in 2006 by Eagle Lithographers in Miami, Florida was dedicated to Pedro Pan children.
