Summary
Tom Rivera interviews Rebecca Lozano, a native of South Colton. Lozano talks about her early family history in the city and expands on the early members of her family who came to Colton. Rivera asks her questions about her life such as living during the Great Depression, the de facto segregation in the city, and segregated schools. When questioned about her favorite memories of the city, Lozano speaks about her family. The memories she made with her cousins and family were the best times of her life. Lozano speaks of how she was kicked out of the Whites-Only school, moving to Fresno, and how her father eventually left the family. The latter half of the interview revolves around the topic of Lozano’s brother Rudy. He was a soldier during the Korean War and won many awards, bringing pride to his family and Colton. The interview concludes with Lori Sanchez, a family member, recalling going to see an exhibition on Rudy in the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There is then also a brief discussion on more about the family history.
