February Collaborative Project: “Latinos in Richmond” Lázaro Lima, Patricia Herrera, and Laura Browder A series of events that examines the Latino experience in the City of Richmond . Description: Latinos are the nation’s largest “minority” group (over 55 million), yet the most disenfranchised from American historical, cultural and educational representation. The programs and events supported by the Latinos in Richmond project is a multi-year attempt to account for the rich and varied presence of Latinos in Richmond and the state of Virginia. Event 4: “Latinos in Richmond: Breaking the Black and White Binary” Facilitator: Mary Wickham, J.D., Executive Director Panelists: Rocio González Watson, Sacred Heart Center Center, Director of Programs & GED Dr. Debra Schleef, co-author of Latinos in Dixie: Class and Assimilation in Richmond (2009) Tanya Gonzalez, Manager, Office of Multicultural Affairs, Juan Santacoloma, Chesterfield County Multicultural Liaison The panel will discuss the historical significance of Latinos to the City of Richmond, the State of Virginia, and the South. They will discuss the importance of education in altering both public perceptions about Latinos and how Latinos imagine themselves in relation to their communities. Panelists will focus on educational and cultural initiatives that would allow Virginia’s constituencies to understand how the forgotten history of Latinos requires memorialization and incorporation into the fiber of Virginia’s historical memory. A reception will follow the discussion. Please RSVP by February 23 to Kimberly O’Hare-Griffith, [email protected].
