Loraine Ballard Morrill speaks with Nelson Diaz – who has authored a book about his remarkable life. Coming up from poverty – he went on become the first Puerto Rican to receive a law degree at Temple University. Diaz was elected a Common Pleas court judge. And those are just a few of the highlights. But as a Puerto Rican Diaz found in this country he wasn’t "American" enough and in Puerto Rico not Boricua enough. His journey is the subject of a new autobiography Not From Here, Not From There/No Soy de Aqui de Alla. http://tupress.temple.edu/book/20000000009163
