Summary
Tom Rivera interviews two sisters from Colton, Dolores Galvez Crouter and Carole Galvez-Salazar. The lengthy interview spans over various topics, particularly about family history in Mexico, in California, and interracial marriages. Both sisters discuss their family tree, the variations of the last names in the family, and their extended family ties in all of South Colton. There are mentions of dances, the schools they went to, the family store, and political work. Another topic that spans the majority of the interview was the family files that the sisters’ mother kept as a kind of historian. The interview ends with everyone singing a traditional Mexican song, a discussion of interracial dating, and acceptance in their family.
