A fact from Isabel González appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 September 2008, and was viewed approximately 2,600 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1902, Isabel Gonzalez, a single Puerto Rican mother, challenged the United States government and helped pave the way for all Puerto Ricans to be recognized as U.S. citizens?
Why is it that it is spelled Gonzales v. Williams if her name is really spelled "González"
That is a good question. When Hispanics and people from non-Anglo countries immigrated to the United States in the 19th Century, the immigration officials would post their names as they believed sounded in English. In other words many Gonzalez's became Gonzales' and Gomez's became Gomes and so on. That is why you have a so-called typo in Isabel's surname. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
