Summary
Tom Rivera interviews two residents from South Colton, “Boxie” Raymond Perez and Angie Perez. As they spoke about what South Colton was like in the past, the couple mentioned how school was for them and the dynamics in a Mexican American family. Boxie, or Raymond, talks about his father, who was a boxer and the first Mexican American councilman in Colton. There is also the topic of Angie’s mother, who had to raise five children alone and had her own business to support them. There is also some talk about customers Angie remembers and then the topics shift back to real estate. The interview ends with pleasant memories of South Colton as well as recollections of segregation and racism.
