Virtual Program -

Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba & Emily Key will discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history and 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. 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.

Featuring 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!

Register today to learn more about the rich history of Nuestra América!
