News Press Clippings (by name, in alphabetical order)
* A note about the news press clippings. Unfortunately, it appears from my cursory readings thus far that most portrayals of Hispanics in the Santa Barbara news papers was negative--arrests, fights, etc--with a few exceptions--the more prominent Hispanic families seem to have received more positive portrayals.
