Contents of this audio recording is more of a discussion, rather than an interview, involving at least 3 people. According to transcription from physical asset, one of the people is Angela Newell. Discussion topics included extended family, including where they were born; where lived in Panama and neighbors; Creole language; education and teachers in Panama; leaving Panama; being in armed services, stationed in Korea; Panamanian community in Washington, DC; tension between "Spanish speaking Latinos" and Black Panamanians; relations between white Latinos and Black Latinos, and within the Black community; identifying self and how others identify others; Black people, citizenship, and land ownership; why Black people were pushed out of Panama; Black Panamanians and language; and the Panama Canal Zone. Interview / discussion is in English and minimal Spanish. Digital audio files include very loud white noise and static; multiple and overlapping voices; and lots of background noise, sound interference, and/or sound distortions. Voices are difficult to hear and often unintelligible. Overall, very poor audio quality.
