Oral History Interview with Benita and Evaristo Albarado, July 14, 2016
Evaristo and Benita Albarado talked about the events surrounding the massacre at El Porvenir Ranch (Presidio County) in 1918, when a group of soldiers and Texas Rangers rounded up and shot Mexican American men who lived and worked at Porvenir. The father of Ms. Benita Albarado was a witness of the events, but did not talk about them until late in his life; his testimony motivated the Albarados to research and document the events surrounding the massacre. In addition to sharing the fruits of their efforts to show what really happened at Porvenir, the Albarados talked about growing up in segregated towns in west Texas (Benita Albarado is from Big Spring, while Evaristo Albarado was born and raised in Uvalde). They also talked about the importance of preserving the history of violence along the border, and discussed their collaboration with scholars in the production of an exhibit at the Bullock museum in Austin.

Oral History Interview with Rachel Gonzalez Hanson, July 14, 2016
Rachel Gonzalez-Hanson grew up in a neighborhood straddling the Anglo and Mexican "sides" of Uvalde. Even though she was a very good student, she had to repeat the 7th grade after participating in the 1970 Walkout. While she was very young at the time, Gonzalez-Hanson recalled being highly involved with the local activists, notably Amaro Cardona (MAYO leader in Uvalde). After her early activism, Gonzalez-Hanson remained involved in local politics, helping in Cardona's and Gilberto Torres' campaigns for County Commissioner. Throughout the interview, Gonzalez-Hanson talked at length about race relations in Uvalde, the backlash from Anglos and conservative Mexican Americans, and her later career as a manager of a community health organization covering the Winter Garden area.
