SUMMARY:Grácia Liliana Fernández: the Bilingual Heroine Who Made the Tempe Normal School Famous by Dr. Chris Marin
DESCRIPTION:When Tempe Normal School was established in 1886\, it had no Spanish curriculum nor a bilingual professor to teach Spanish to enrolled TNS students\, despite the demand to train bilingual teachers to educate Spanish-speaking pupils in Arizona’s elementary schools. They were taught by white teachers who didn’t speak nor understand Spanish. Spanish-speaking children continued to fail and progress in their education. Twenty-one years later\, Bilingual Education was born at TNS in 1907. Dr. Christine Marin\, Historian/Archivist and Professor Emeriti at ASU\, is the founder and director of the Chicano/a Research Collection and Archives at the Hayden Library at ASU. Dr. Marin is President of the Tempe History Society and is a native of Globe\, Arizona and grew up on the legendary street\, Euclid Avenue.

SUMMARY:Three Bedrooms and a Carport by Scott Solliday
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1940s\, America’s postwar boom brought prosperity\, which generally meant a new house and a new car for middle class families. This changed everything\, here and across the country. New neighborhoods and roads quickly spread out from Tempe in every direction. Look around! Half of Tempe still showcases the new modern mid-century architecture of that time\, the Ranch style house. Learn the secrets of how a basic box with smooth lines and simple details became America’s favorite house. Scott Solliday is currently Senior Cultural Resource Specialist (historian and archaeologist) at HDR Engineering but once was a curator at the Tempe History Museum.
