Abstract:
A display celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month was showcased in the John W. Anderson Library highlighting local authors and activists. This was co-curated by Jeremy Pekarek and Cynthia Szymanski of the library. The display ran from September to October of 2022 and featured a variety of books authored by John Fraire, a local educator, activist, historian, and playwright. In addition, it shed light on an IU Northwest alumnus, Jesse Villalpando Sr. who founded the Latino Historical Society of Northwest Indiana. Materials for this display were pulled from the library circulating collection and the archives.
