University Blvd.

Today on 30 Minutes, excerpts from the opening presentation which featured Dean of UA Libraries Karen Wilson, Mayor of Tucson Jonathan Rothschild, Pima County Supervisor Richard Elias, and guest curator Meg Weesner. KXCI Community Radio Chicano Connections DJ Bob Diaz co-curated the exhibit.
