Telling Our Stories
Why is it important for Latinx people of color to produce and share stories that are not often found in our schools, museums or other public places.
A conversation facilitated by Marta V. Martínez
Your Story Can be Part of Latino History
Latinos have been the fastest growing yet most underrepresented ethnic group in historical documents in Rhode Island. This is why we want to collect items and stories about life in Rhode Island’s barrios | neighborhoods, and to provide a forum for Spanish-speaking immigrants to make their voices heard, and their photos placed in an archive for future generations to see.
Do you want to contribute your story and old photographs to the Latino Archives? For more information, click here ➤
