As many of you are aware, Latino Books Month is an initiative of Rhode Island Latino Arts where we promote literacy among Latinos through the celebration of Latino authors, illustrators and books that highlight Latino culture and Latin American identity.
From Wednesday, January 8, 2020 and through the end of May, Marta V. Martínez, RILA's Executive Director, would like to invite you to take a break from your busy work day to join her every Wednesday between 11am to 1pm for Café y Plática, informal conversations over a cup of coffee and to contribute to the growing collection of Latino Stories.
Tamale making is a family tradition and community ritual among Mexican and Mexican-American people, especially during the Christmas holidays. It can help develop a sense of unity and community, and breaks down borders between people and cultures.
Join us for a Community Tamalada on Sat. Dec. 14, 2019 from 10:30am to 12n.
Latinos have been the fastest growing yet most underrepresented ethnic group in historical documents in Rhode Island. This is why we want to collect items and stories about life in Rhode Island’s barrios | neighborhoods, and to provide a forum for Spanish-speaking immigrants to make their voices heard, and their photos placed in an archive for future generations to see.
