Teen Oral History Project
West Las Vegas by F.E. Evans
An oral history was created by Las Vegas teens who conducted recorded interviews with long-time African American residents or elders of the West Las Vegas area. The interviewees talked about their experiences and what it was like living in Las Vegas between 1950-1980.
The West Las Vegas Oral History Teen Project was an intergenerational project, enabling teens to become historians of cultural and heritage experiences in their African American community.
