Hispanics in Tempe: The Story of Victory Acres
By D. A. Romero

Victory Acres emerged during an era of post-war prosperity and development. The neighborhood served as a place of resilience and cultural identity even in times of displacement and urban renewal. D.A. Romero, a fifth-generation Arizonan, seeks to reflect on the strength of a community while recognizing the complex history still being written. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
