Interviews can take many forms. Some authors focus on the purest facts to get an objective truth on someone's past. Some authors focus on the memories of their interviewers and interpret them into dreamy paragraphs while others still dive deep into the community connections that their interviewees hold today. Hear of the beginnings of careers, best friends, grandmothers, and many siblings.

From the publisher: “In Those Who Changed Us: Interviews with our Community, 826LA students were asked to find someone in their community and share part of their story. They interview them over the phone, in-person, and via email for this book project. In your hands is the result of their work over several months as these students now share with you what they learned.”
