About the event
Join us in conversation with Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba and Emily Key as they discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history, as well as their incredible contributions to the cultural, social, and political character of the United States. The stories in Nuestra América cover each figure's cultural background and childhood, and their accomplishments or contributions to American history. The National Museum of the American Latino has featured twenty-three of these stories in its exhibition ¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States, the first exhibition to feature U.S. Latino history at the national level.
Registration is required; all programs will also be available for on-demand viewing following the event. Learn more at https://bit.ly/fplauthor.
