Chicago has been home to Latino/a/e communities since the 1800s. Their descendants have actively carried on and protected Latino/a/e cultural heritages and traditions. Today they stand firm in the face of systems and policies of oppression and remain Here in Chicago—Aquí en Chicago.
Join Elena Gonzales, curator of civic engagement & social justice, for our women’s history tour of Aquí en Chicago to learn more about the remarkable Latinas in the exhibition and some of the many forms of Latina identity. And remember, women’s history is for everyone!
Meet at the entrance of Aquí en Chicago.
Included with general admission; RSVP required.
