Hola amigos, solos familia! Happy Women’s History Month! Happy Spring!
This month our program highlights voices from my Treasures from Aztlan oral history collection along with a mini-memory I wrote. Since this month is Women’s History Month, we’ll focus on stories about women. They may not be famous, but they were my heroines nonetheless. My mini-memory recounts a cherished memory about my Aunt Tina and her best friend Josie. Later you’ll hear a voice from my “Treasures from Aztlan Oral History Collection” about how narrator Ernestine Olvera was beset by racist acts throughout her 92 years of living in San Antonio, TX and how she rose against them. We’ll also learn about the cultural milieu surrounding the 1930-1940s era, when Olvera was growing up and how it impacted her and other Mexican Americans during that time.
