Activism & Excellence: Celebrating Latinx History at UWMThe Roberto Hernandez Center celebra

Activism & Excellence: Celebrating Latinx History at UWMThe Roberto Hernandez Center celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. To commemorate this golden anniversary, UWM Libraries worked with the RHC to improve and augment the Latino Activism Digital Collection. The digital collection includes photographs and manuscripts documenting the student and community protests that led to the creation of the Spanish Speaking Outreach Center in 1970, later renamed the Roberto Hernandez Center after activist Roberto Hernandez. The newly improved digital collection includes fourteen new oral histories with Latinx students, staff, faculty, and activists who have helped shaped UWM. A lesson made evident by the materials available in the digital collection is that institutional change only happens when the community pulls together.  -- source link
