Interview with Olga Leiva, June 9, 2023
Fifth year Yale University doctoral candidate Amanda Rivera approached the History Center about conducting oral histories to facilitate her research on the bilingual education movement in Bridgeport as led by Puerto Ricans in the 1970s. Rivera continued her work interviewing community members about this topic in both Bridgeport and New Haven into 2024. The interviews she conducted are now part of the History Center holdings as an oral history collection. The collection is called "Bridgeport and New Haven Puerto Rican Oral Histories, 2023-2024".
