Description
On March 15, 1981, Andrew Lazarus interviewed Suzette Cox (b. 1945 in San Diego, California) about her experiences of living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cox talks briefly about her move from California to Las Vegas, her employment at two police agencies and a local newspaper company, and her family. The two also discuss racial discrimination issues in Las Vegas and Cox’s experiences in sports as she was going to school in Las Vegas. Cox later describes how the Strip influenced her life and move to the city, the crime rate in Las Vegas and Nevada and how it related to tourism, and her recollection of the effects of the above-ground atomic testing.
