George Sánchez was born on October 4, 1906 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the family of Telesfor and Juliana Sanchez. During his early years, his family moved between Albuquerque and Arizona. The longest settled period of time George enjoyed as a child happened to be in Jerome, Arizona, now a ghost town, but at the time was known as W.C. Clark's copper mining boom town.
In 1930 George received Bachelor of Arts at University of New Mexico. The he earned Master of Science at University of Texas in 1931. Finally, he got Doctor of Education at University of California in 1934.
George served on the faculty of the University of New Mexico, held several concurrent teaching, chair, and dean positions at The University of Texas at Austin from 1940 until his death. He was the university's first professor Latin American Studies and later served as the chair of the Department of History and Philosophy.
Sanchez also acted as the President of the League of United Latin American Citizens. Sánchez published his best known work, "Forgotten People," in 1940. This book was the first to use sociological methods to document the concerns and experiences of "New Mexicans."
Sanchez is remembered as a leading figure in the early "Mexican-American/Chicano" movement, which culminated during World War II, after heavy involvement with and collaboration between Chicano-Americans and Latin Americans through The Office of Inter-American Affairs.

Sánchez Memorial Award to recognize him as the "father of the movement for quality education for Mexican-Americans"; the United States Office of Education named a work section and a room in the new United States Office of Education Building for him; schools in Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, Texas, were named for him; and in 1995 the University of Texas rededicated its Education Building as the George I. Sánchez Building.
