Description of Pictures: ˇPresente! A Latino History of the United States
June 18, 2022 – Indefinitely
First Floor East, Molina Family Latino Gallery of the National Museum of the American Latino Floor Plan
ˇPresente! A Latino History of the United States tells U.S. history from the perspectives of the diverse Latinas and Latinos who lived it and live it today. This exhibition uncovers hidden and forgotten stories, connects visitors to Latino culture, and lays the foundation for understanding how Latinas and Latinos inform and shape U.S. history and culture. The intentional diversity of objects, images, and stories clarifies that Latinhood is a dynamic exchange between related but distinct communities under the Latino identity.
The Molina Family Latino Gallery is the first gallery space of the National Museum of the American Latino.
