It is awarded to projects that give expression to the extraordinary variety of histories and experiences of California's places and people to ensure that the stories can be widely shared. These narratives help us find our commonalities, appreciate our differences, and learn something new about how to live well together. The Santa Ana Public Library, partnering with Cal State Fullerton's Grant Central Art Center, has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Cal Humanities' Community Stories Program to support its project, "Raitt Street Chronicles: A Survivors Oral History". During the next year, the two organizations will cooperate to train Santa Ana teens to collect oral histories from the Townsend/Raitt neighborhood. Teens will collect, archive, and share the stories of survivors of violence from a community that has met, faced and overcome problems together. The video interviews will be available for the public to view on various social media, and the final product of 20B-1 Cal Humanities grant "Raitt Street Chronicles: A Survivors Oral History February 4, 2013 Page 2 the project will be a 15-minute mini-documentary on the history of the neighborhood that will be shown in various local venues and online. Through the project the partners hope to convey the struggles and success of their generation, finding a new life in a new country, while bringing these stories to a wider audience.
