This report about a Latino oral history project in Colorado Springs doesn’t delve into the personal side of giving family accounts. Except for two brief recountings from two subjects, the narrative relies too much on the project director’s perspective. There should be more from people relating their stories, framed by historical events in Southern Colorado. Unfortunately, the subjects were poorly recorded compared to the director. This technical weakness stands out. Also, the reporter makes several time references about the opening of the project, which makes it obsolete for an evergreen. The topic deserves more exploration than just a surface treatment.
