YOU did it! Our deepest thanks for supporting the Voces Oral History Center during our Bring Latina/o Images to Light campaign helping us reach and exceed our goal – 104%!

Your gift will help us as we launch into the first year of the technical work necessary to bring over 25,000 photos into public view. Visit us at vocescenter.org and see the current photos, images, and oral histories of the U.S. Latino experience. Return often to see your support at work as more images become visible and searchable.

Take an inside look at the current Voces photography project to bring 25,000+ images into public view. Your support is helping make all our photos searchable and visible. 

“A lot of what we do at the Voces Oral History Center is to record these
stories and make them accessible to the public so people will know
what the Latino experience and participation is like in this country.” 

John David Devirgiliis, Voces Managing Editor of Production

Many thanks to the donors who have helped us reach 51% of our goal thus far!

Your gift will support bringing over 25,000+ photos into view. For each interview subject you see on our website at vocescenter.org, there are so many more that are still hidden from view.  

Some interview subjects have allowed Voces to digitize diaries and letters to and from people in war zones, political campaigns, marches for equal education and so much more that reflect the U.S. Latino experience. Take for example Lupe Uresti, the first Hispanic elected official in the city of Rosenberg and the first woman.

“It was a political term it was saying this is what I stand for.”

If you haven’t had a chance to make your gift yet there’s no time like today to show your love of history. We need your support to reach our $5,000 goal.

Be a part of history.

You gift helps Voces share photos documenting Latino struggles for equal 
education such as the Uvalde High School Walkout 1970.

“The walkout was really a manifestation of a lot of issues that had been building and boiling over the years,” “The people said no to discrimination, no to poor education, no to a lot of the bad things that had been going on.”

Thank you for supporting the Voces Oral History Center!

 

From 9 a.m. September 8 through October 8 at 9 a.m., 2021, support the Voces Oral History Center’s Bringing Images of Latinas/os to Light. Your gifts to our Voces HornRaiser will help us do the initial technical work necessary to bring over 25,000 treasured photos into public view. 

In our vast historic collection are photos and documents from men and women in military uniform, those seeking public office, Latinos and Latinas celebrating our culture, to the impact of COVID-19 on the Latino population.

Follow Voces on the social media links on our main page as we share some of our treasured photos from 

our collections ad we'd like to make available to everyone with your help.

Every photo tells a story of the Latina/o experience in the U.S. 

You gift can help us tell those stories.
