Tell About the South: New Roots Latino Roundtable

Since 2007, faculty, staff, and students at UNC have conducted oral history interviews on issues related to Latino migration to North Carolina and the formation of Latino/a communities. This project, called New Roots / Nuevas Raíces, was awarded an NEH grant in 2014 to make the collection accessible to new regional, national, and global audiences, particularly within Spanish-speaking Latino and Latin American communities. At this “Tell About the South” discussion, hear from New Roots partners from the Latino Migration Project, the Southern Oral History Program, and University Libraries about their work creating a bilingual website and digital catalogs as well as their outreach with Latino communities, K-12 educators, and researchers internationally.

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
