Latino Digital Mural Oral History Project

The Latino Community Mural Oral History Project consits of interviews  conducted by students in a series of workshops organized and lead by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz. Dr. Christine Filippone's Contemporary Art course and Dr. Kimberly Mahaffy’s African American and Latino Educational Experiences course in the spring of 2011. The overarching goal of the project was to break away from the traditional academic experience, as well as give a presence to the Latino community within Millersville and  Lancaster. Prior to the interviews, narrotors were asked to contribute images of family, images of themselves or important objects in order to highlight the themes and messafes communicated in two murals, one on display in the Millersville University Student Memorial center and the other at Lancaster's Clipper Stadium.
