Latino Heritage Preservation: Building a Network registration open!

Latino history in Oregon is long and deep. People of Latin American descent have impacted what Oregon has become through labor, community development, entrepreneurship, and more. Yet, this important history has been overlooked, under documented, and excluded from the shared narrative. Now many heritage organizations are working to change that.

The goal of the event is to kick-off a statewide conversation about coordinating efforts to preserve and promote Oregon's Latino heritage. The online session will be April 29, 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Registration<https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0pduitqjorHNTXkfEh6D2LCa5EjDUGkZ4k> is open now.

Latin at s in Heritage Conservation is a national organization of professionals, educators, and advocates who believe in preserving and elevating Latino history and places to create a more inclusive American narrative and sustain the living cultural heritage of the country's diverse Latino communities.
