Latino Heritage in Indiana
from Hoosier History Live
Chili parlors owned by Mexican Americans were popular in Indianapolis as early as 1907 and during the 1920s and '30s, a "hot tamale craze" occurred from Elkhart to Evansville. Nelson is joined by Nicole Martinez-LeGrand of the Indiana Historical Society to follow up on previous explorations of the early Mexican heritage in the state, including new details about a "Lost Barrio" of the 1950s and '60s.
