A glossary of terms and discussion question-filled reading guide\, created by the National Museum of the American Latino\, encourages further research and exploration. The museum 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. \nFeaturing beautifully illustrated portraits by Gloria Félix\, this is a book that children (and adults) will page through and learn from again and again. A must have for every school and home library to help students understand the American story! \nThis virtual event is from 2 to 3 p.m. Register at https://libraryc.org/danburylibrary/94806/register URL:/events/calendar/nuestra-america-stories-of-30-inspiring-latinas-latinos-who-have-shaped-the-united-states/ LOCATION:Virtual event CATEGORIES:Affiliated Event,Diversity,Lectures,Virtual event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2025/03/Virtual-Event-500x300-no-shield.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
