 File — Box: 1, CD: 5

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The collection originally contained five (5) interviews recorded on seven (7) audio cassettes with tape logs corresponding with each interview. In 2016 eighteen (18) additional cassettes and interview logs were added to the collection by Dr. Christine Sierra upon her retirement. This addition makes the collection complete. All the cassette tapes were transfered digitally to CDs in Jan. 2017.

Interview discussions examine topics such as the importance of the family and community, traditions and ceremonies, bilingual and minority education, social and political awareness. Issues explored in the interviews include civil rights, student organizations, strikes, labor protests, discrimination, and social conditions.

Students in the class earned extra credit by conducting oral history interviews with UNM faculty members who were associated with the Chicano movement as students.
