History museum needs Mexican memorabilia ... asks citizens to contribute

The Phoenix Museum of History is asking city residents to become a part of its next exhibit.

"The Mexican American Mirror: Reflections of Our City's Heritage" will open Oct. 12, and museum officials are looking for donations and loans for the temporary exhibit. Residents can donate or loan items that pertain to Mexican-American history in Phoenix.

"This is a really great opportunity for the community to share what they have with the public," said museum curator Elizabeth Moser.
