{{blockquote|As a product of the 1950s and 60s, Bidal's outlook on life was certainly impacted by the social exclusion of the times which [kept] Mexican Americans from [[restaurant]]s, movie theaters, swimming pools, and other social settings. Perhaps, that is the starting point in understanding why Bidal Aguero took the road less traveled and chose to dedicate his life to working for [[social justice]] and for civil rights to improve the life of those who would follow his generation. In the history of this city, Bidal's life is a testament to his life long struggle to bring about the changes he knew were necessary if the social, cultural, and political arena was ever going to change for the Mexican American community. ... Many of the victories and accomplishments which he enjoyed came after tremendous challenges and adversity.​<br>
