Early Life
Ruiz, who is of Mexican American descent, was born on May 21, 1955, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Erminia Pablita Mercer and Robert Ruiz. Because her father was a mechanic and captain of a sport-fishing vessel, she her early years were spent traveling with her family up and down the southeastern coast, causing her to attend two, and at times three schools a year. When she was in the eighth grade this changed when her mother insisted they settle in one place in order to provide a stable education for the children. And so they settled in Florida, where in her newly integrated school the classrooms remained segregated, with African American students on one side of the classroom, Euro-American students on the other side of the classroom, and Vicki Ruiz placed in the middle.

This is a test.
