Description
The Latino Mural oral history project is compiled of interviews organized by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz conducted by students in 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 and give a presence to the Latino community at Millersville and in Lancaster. Those who were interviewed were asked to contribute images of family, themselves or important objects to create the two murals . One mural is on display in the Student Memorial Center, while the other was on display at Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster for a limited time.
