¡Colores!; A Mi Raza: The Writings of Sabine Ulibarri; 608; A Mi Raza: Sabine Ulibarrí; Sabine INT Night/Home #3

We do everything, we roll around, we put it all on an eight dollar tape. I had a visitor from Ecuador, and the most important thing that he wanted to take home was a camera. The boy wants to be a body television person. So he took one, and it was Miguel Gandard, that advised him where and what camera to get, but he didn't pay $45 ,000. He paid $1 ,000. I'm going to give you a Dale Sonderberg angle on this. Dale Sonderberg is really interested in people. What he does is he says, I'm going to provide the transmitter. I'm going to give you an opportunity to say what you need to say. Maybe what's

important to you. This show is basically the same thing. This is probably going to be the end of the show. I want to make sure that when somebody looks at the show, they say, they're subvenual about it. There's his heart. Maybe there's his soul. There's what he loves. There's the man. I can dance around and ask questions and pull this way in that way, like I'm doing. But now it's kind of down to the interview and making sure that you've had an opportunity to say what you want to say. So what how we covered or what do we need to say, something that's going to, somebody's going to look at this show tomorrow or 20 years and go, there's the guy. That's important. There's no way I can handle that. But that, for me, that's my

goal. I mean, I'm being a documentary and I'm stepping back. I'm giving you the platform. I got to give it a little background. Okay, wait. Sure. Let's wait on this guy. You ready? My generation was born at the tail end of the First World War. We grew up to be little boys just in time for the depression to hit. We grew up during the depression. We grew up just in time to enter the Second World War.

We did the war and we came back and we faced the Cold War. So our life has not been easy. But it has been rich and good. I think my generation has done more for the welfare, advancement, and progress of the Hispanic population in this state than any other. Because when we came back from the war, there was no way any of us were going to go follow the sheep or the goats. There was no way any of us were going to go and follow a political patron. Then came the GI Bill. The World War created

a great deal of sorrow and tragedy. But from another angle, it was a godsend where the Hispanic people of New Mexico. It provided the GI Bill and the GI Bill opened the doors of the university and opened the doors of opportunity for the first time. And all you have to do is go to the yellow pages of the telephone directory. The record of success is listed there. Turn to the MDs and you run into names like Ortega, One Sileness, Automico, and so on. Dentists, the same thing. Certified public accountants, businessmen, this happened since the Second World War. Now my generation is

stepping off the stage and it's up to the coming generations of Hispanics to do as much as we did. And what did we do? We only did what we could with what we had to do it with. That's all that can be asked of any human being. Do the best you can. But make sure it is the best you can. Something less is never enough. And my generation is saying to the coming generations, we did what we could. Now it's your turn.

Go to the university, graduate from the university, make it, make it one way or another. The way is up and the way up is not easy, but it's exciting. The higher up you go, the clearer the air is. The higher you go, the farther you can see. It's titillating and exciting to go up the mount. So all of you have a mount. Start climbing and keep on climbing. Who's that? Which one? How sermon and I didn't even pass a collection box.

What are you going to say? The camera never blinks. No, I didn't want to say any more. You see that's one reason I think for the large Hispanic families. And that the parents can't leave their mark any other way. And that is one way. Well, you seem to be pretty fortunate. I know that. I mean, you went for a World War. Did you want 35 missions? Yeah. You had good parents. And do you know I receive a pension? From the Air Force? No, I don't put that in the thing. For

nervousness. When I came back from overseas, I was sent to a compilation hospital. I spent there a long time because I was having nightmares. My hands would shake. And I'd perspire. And then later, I'd start breaking out my hands and feet. When I was discharged from the service, I was discharged in Roswell. My hands and feet were bandaged up from that breaking out. That went on for years, but not always in my hands. My elbow, both my knees. And then I'd start breaking out my hands and feet were bandaged up from that breaking out.
