SUMMARY:Nuestra América: Stories of 30 Inspiring Latinas/Latinos Who Have Shaped the United States with Smithsonian Educators
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 2\, 2025 Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm  Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Click this link to attend the virtual event. \nJoin us in conversation with Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba and Emily Key as they discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history\, as well as their incredible contributions to the cultural\, social\, and political character of the United States. \nThe 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. \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! \nRegister today to learn more about the rich history of Nuestra América! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Presenters:  \nAdrián Aldaba\, a Chicago native\, is the national programs manager for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino.
