Its mission to collect\, share\, and celebrate the Latino experience in Worcester drives a community-centered effort to demonstrate the central role that Latinos played in Worcester and the nation’s larger history. \nThe LHPW’s growing collection of recorded oral history interviews\, photographs\, artifacts\, and written sources will benefit future researchers\, Worcester community members\, and students of all ages. For over a decade\, the project has hosted community events to examine a wide range of topics\, from the fights for bilingual education\, fair housing\, and police reform\, to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of the Latino community. The project opened its first major exhibit at the Museum of Worcester in 2024. Digital exhibits\, archives\, and a print catalog documenting Worcester’s Latino history will soon follow. \nThis year’s main event to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month will feature a discussion of the project and the larger effort to move Latino stories from the margins to the center of American history. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nAbout The Guest Speaker\nWe are honored to host Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn as guest speaker.
