Our History. Our Voice: Mexican American History Project of Greeley

Description

Greeley Mexican Americans range from recent immigrants to those who lived here before this land became part of the United States. “There is a saying: We didn’t cross the border; the border crossed us. We have called Greeley home for generations and proudly embrace each new generation.” “ Our ancestors were here cultivating the land, building our neighborhoods, nourishing our families, and driving the industries that shaped Greeley into the thriving community it is today. From agriculture and meatpacking to construction, oil and gas, our labor has been the foundation of Greeley’s prosperity for generations. We share these stories with the hope that they educate and inspire our present community, future Mexican American generations, and the broader public.” 284 pages.
