- One mission of Special Collections at the University of Arizona libraries is to collect and preserve the stories of Tucsonans, stories about topics and events both big and small. Pedro Gonzalez grew up in Barrio Viejo, until his family was displaced by urban renewal. He remains a barrio resident today, and he has been a neighborhood organizer most of his adult life. In this edition of “Archive Tucson”, produced by Aengus Anderson , we’ll hear Gonzalez share some favorite random memories of being a teenager in Tucson in the 1970s.
