Community builders.

Presents the oral histories of 36 women and men involved in the development of Long Beach, California. The narrators describe why they or their families came to California, and what kind of work they did. Some of them participated in building local businesses and community institutions before and after the Second World War. Others helped to establish voluntary associations such as social and service clubs, political associations and other groups. Many of the interviews were collected as part of a project to study the impact of the discovery of oil on the development of Long Beach.
