There has never been a book written about the history of Mexican Americans in Greeley, Colorado, using their voices, stories, and perspectives until now. The long-anticipated publication amplifies the lived experiences of Mexican Americans in Greeley from 1920 to today – covering over a century of culture, labor, and legacy. Told through the voices of forty-four narrators, Our History Our Voice is a cultural archive. The book is split into two parts: one offering historical research from Greeley's past and the other featuring oral histories collected from its residents. Topics include immigration, labor in key industries like agriculture and oil and gas, education, civic engagement, and social justice. The authors hope to educate and inspire readers to embrace, celebrate, and share the rich tapestry of their own cultures with others.
