== Biography ==
Anita Martinez was born on December 8, 1925 in a poor area of Dallas, populated heavily enough with Mexican nationals to earn the sobriquet "Little Mexico".〔("Anita Martinez Collection" ), Dallas Public Library, (accessed September 26, 2010).〕 After completing high school, Anita married Alfred Martinez and raised four children, while volunteering for organizations such as the Dallas Metropolis YWCA and the Jesuit Parents' Club.〔“Women News-Shapers For 1968” The Dallas Times Harold, February 5, 1969. (N. Martinez papers, A1195.2006x ) Degolyer Library, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.〕 At the same time, she supported her husband's restaurant business, El Fenix, by joining, and eventually becoming the program director of, the Dallas Restaurant Association Auxiliary.〔Maggie Kennedy, “Women Also Feed Mind” The Dallas Time Harold, June 11, 1967. (N. Martinez papers, A1195.2006x ) Degolyer Library, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.〕 From 1969-1973, Mrs. Martinez served as West Dallas' Republican City Council Woman.〔 In 1975, she began the Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico as a volunteer program aimed at connecting Hispanic youths to their native culture.〔 She also assisted in the opening of the Anita Martinez Recreation Center in 1976 as a haven for children in West Dallas, an establishment she advocated for while on the City Council.〔Irasema Coronado and Patricia A. Jaramillo and Patricia Madrid and Sonia R. Garcia and Valerie Martinez-Ebers, Politicas: Latina Public Officials in Texas, (Texas: University of Texas Press, 2008), 123.〕 The Recreation Center and the Ballet Folklorico are still around today.
