Oral History Interview with Lillie Aleman, July 11, 2016
Lillie Ann Aleman was born in 1942 in Forth Worth and would migrate to Galveston when she was four years old. Her father, Pedro Enriquez, was a WWII veteran who became active in the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council #151 and defended equal employment opportunities. Aleman would become active in LULAC after her mother, Tomasa Lozano Enriquez, co-founded LULAC women's council #639 and encouraged Aleman to become involved. She talks about instances of discrimination while growing-up on the island, how LULAC merged the councils in 1999, how she was designated as "LULAC Woman of the Year" due to her participation in several initiatives, how she became president of the merged LULAC council, and her engagement in cross-racial efforts to address affordable housing after Hurricane Ike. Aleman also speaks about voting rights, youth programs, and national LULAC's political agenda.

Fort Worth Flooding and Evacuation
Shot by the staff of Congressman Jim Wright, this footage captures the aftermath of a flood in Fort Worth, most likely from 1957. In May of that year, after weeks of torrential rains across Texas, more than 4,000 people were evacuated from unprotected lowlands along local creeks and the West Fork of the Trinity River in Fort Worth. In the film, residents combat severe floodwaters, salvaging property out of their homes and evacuating by boat to higher ground. Wright also appears to survey the damage and help in relief efforts.
