Lucy's Story

Imagine years from now that your great-great grandchildren can share your memories with their own families. Think of the connection they can feel to you, as they learn about what it was like to live your life. Although these stories can be passed down by word of mouth, there is something incredible about hearing someone’s experiences in their own words.

This holds true when listening to the memories of Lucy Pearse. Raised in Oklahoma near an Indian reservation, Pearse remembers a great diversity of people was drawn to her community in search of jobs. She recounts her experience going to school with a variety of cultures such as Italian and Russian. Pearse describes the assortment of people in her neighborhood and the different micro-communities created within her own, such as “Russian Hill.” To listen to more about Pearse’s story, click here.
