The student interviews in History Spoken Here focus on the lives and cultural heritage of their family or friends, many of whom struggled to succeed in the United States after emigrating from Portugal, the Cape Verde Islands, and Puerto Rico. Other interviews recall life in New Bedford in the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. With the History Spoken Here magazine, students not only have the opportunity to learn about their own cultural history, but they also leave the community with a history of itself.
