Hispanic Heritage Celebration

Join us for a celebration of Hispanic pride. The first hour will involve a presentation from genealogist Irisneri Alicea Flores.  She will share “Mi Gente Estuvo Aquí También” (My People Were Here Too), her own story of the healing journey that comes with digging into one's own roots and offer practical tips on how to begin searching for your own family history using regional sources.  Anyone with an interest in genealogy generally, or in Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and South and Central American genealogy specifically, will have something to learn from the presentation.  

Then you can meet your neighbors and share your stories amid a backdrop of lively music and colorful decorations.  Enjoy light refreshments as you connect to your community highlighting the rich tapestry of Hispanic heritage and culture.
