LittleSis: Adelfa Callejo

Adelfa B. Callejo has been a champion of civil rights as long as she can remember. Born on June 10, 1923 in Millett, Texas, of an immigrant Mexican father and a Mexican American mother, she graduated from Cotulla High School in 1939. After a stay in Dallas, she moved to California, where she started her own import-export business, and through it met her husband, William (Bill) F. Callejo, a New Yorker. Their business and education took them to Mexico City and Troy, New York before Adelfa B. Callejo and her husband returned to Dallas. Working as a secretary during the day, she attended night school at SMU, studying simultaneously for her B.A. and J.D. degrees. Adelfa B. Callejo was the first Hispanic woman to graduate from the SMU Dedman School of Law in 1961. Since then, she has been a partner at Callejo and Callejo in Dallas specializing in personal injury, family and criminal law.
