Barrio Anita Project Being Planned

I am very please to pass along plans for a new website within Through Our Parents' Eyes about Tucson's Barrio Anita. Last Tuesday I Barrio Anita resident, Ramon Olivas at Oury Park, to discuss developing a website about the Barrio Anita. Ramon has been involved in a number Barrio Anita projects, including the enormous mural that overlooks Oury Park. Ramon passed along two booklets from Barrio Anita projects that collected family histories and engaged area youth in learning more about their heritage. Ramon has two more booklets to share and is going to talk to others in the neighborhood about participating. What I'd like to do is collect digital stories like the two currently on Through Our Parents' Eyes. These tend to be about two minutes of audio that is paced with a family's photos.
