Description
In the fall of 2011, Raíces Cultural Center began an oral history project called "Testimonials for the Ancestors", collecting video interviews from community members willing to share their stories and histories about how they remember, honor and revere their ancestors.
This clip is of Raíces Board member, supporter, family and friend Angela Lugo, and was originally screened as part of the Raíces 2011 production Festival for the Dead: Ancestral Musical Traditions for the Ancestors.
Raíces Cultural Center Archive continues to accept submissions of video, audio and written testimonials about the ways in which members of our community and beyond remember, honor and revere their ancestors in their lives. If you would like to share your story with us, please contact us at raices @ raicesculturalcenter dot org.
