== Early Life and Education ==
José Gómez was born Sept. 28, 1943 in Colorado and grew up in Wyoming. He was the son of Juan Gonzalez Gómez and Mercedes Aragon Gómez, and was one of ten children. His early childhood was spent in Reliance, Wyoming. Juan G. Gómez worked in coal mines until 1954, when mine closures led him to seek agricultural work in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin. The family settled in Worland, Wyoming where Juan G. and Mercedes A. Gómez and their children labored in sugar beet fields. At the time, Worland segregated its primary school children and operated a school called the Mexican School.〔Jorge Iber and Arnaldo DeLeon, Hispanics in the American West, Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO, 2005〕 In 1954, José and his sister Rosa Gómez were the first Latino/a students to attend the Emmett School rather than the Mexican School. Observing the difference between the education he received versus that offered in the Mexican School impressed upon Gómez the capacity of education to offer an escape from poverty, and he resolved to become an educator.〔Harvard to Evergreen, The Olympian, Olympia, WA, Oct 19, 2003.〕〔Community Marks Brown v. Board of Education Ruling, Sunday Olympian, Olympia, WA, May 9, 2004.〕
Gómez enrolled at the University of Wyoming and earned a B.A. in 1965 with emphases in Spanish, Journalism, and Education. He began graduate studies in Spanish and Latin American Literature at the University of Wyoming and in 1966-1967 was awarded a Fulbright Program grant to study Latin American literature in Nicaragua. The year in Nicaragua deepened his critique of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. He returned to Laramie for the 1967-1968 academic year, but in the context of the African-American Civil Rights Movement and opposition to United States Involvement in the Vietnam War he suspended graduate studies and moved toward activism.〔In Memorium, The Evergreen Magazine, Fall-Winter 2014.〕
