Oral history interview with Salvador Espino, 2003 [videorecording].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/454212015

Salvador Espino begins with his personal and family background and cites his family's involvement in All Saints Catholic Church for launching his community interests. He relates his work with the Hill Gilstrap law firm with his choice to concentrate on real estate law and refers to his service with the Latin Arts Association and the historic Rose Marine Theater. He contrasts his own bilingual experience with English and Spanish to that of his parents and his children and points to his earlier civic activities prior to running for public office. He shares his vision for the city of Fort Worth and his district in North Fort Worth, covers his election campaign strategy as a candidate for Fort Worth city council against incumbent Jim Lane and two other candidates, and mentions previous Hispanic American councilmen, Louis Zapata and Carlos Puente. He projects how incumbent mayor Kenneth Barr's decision not to seek reelection will play in his own campaign and provides details of his campaign financing and political advertising options. He talks about instilling basic values in Mexican American youth to stem dropout problems and praises programs for encouraging their achievement. He debates the issue of dual nationality in Mexico and notes the longterm domination of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional in Mexican party politics. He explores the effect of immigration and economic development on relations between Mexico and the United States and examines African American and Hispanic American relations. He expresses his political aspirations for the future, comments on prominent public figures Henry Cisneros and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and discusses the problems of the Republican and Democratic parties.
