| − | We have read sources that focused on the support of Mexican American communities in the West, but this source is evidence that those communities continued to exist during the Great Depression and even gained strength. I found Carlotta's family's generosity amazing during such a rough time. Of course her family had a little more security since her father was a miner, but they still did not receive a great deal of money. They seemed to be thankful that they receieved any money and shared their blessings with the less fortunate. The Great Depression is often characterized as a depressing, woeful time, and yet Carlotta and some of her fellow community members celebrated holidays with parties and parades, went to the movies and attended plays. Carlotta is also very involved in community service that raises money and provides entertainment for the community. While I'm sure the life was very hard for Superior during the Depression, Carlotta looks back on that part of her life in a positive light and remembers the strong, thriving community that existed. -- CBrau | + | '''We have read sources that focused on the support of Mexican American communities in the West, but this source is evidence that those communities continued to exist during the Great Depression and even gained strength.'''
