A nonprofit organization in Tucson (Arizona) trains low-income adolescents to document neighborhood histories and tell their own. Working with professionals in the field, Mexican American and other minority youths learn to research, interview, write, photograph, and edit. After four books documenting Tucson history, a magazine was launched that covers current issues from a youth perspective. (TD)
