Thursday, September 12, 2024
Reception 5:30pm | Discussion 6pm
LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Avenue, Lancaster

“Dutchirican: A Latinx History of Central Pennsylvania” is an exhibit curated by Dr. Ivette Guzmán-Zavala and Dr. John Hinshaw that is currently on display at LancasterHistory. The exhibit tells the story of the Latinx community in central Pennsylvania through photographs and artifacts, including a reproduction casita, or “little house,” of the kind lived in by migrant workers in the region in the 1950s. The exhibit traces the history of a diverse community from the American Revolution to the present and explores the rich contributions Latinx peoples have made to Lancaster County and the surrounding region.

Join Crispus Attucks Community Center’s Young Professionals of Color Network and LancasterHistory on Thursday, September 12 at 5:30pm for a discussion led by Dr. Guzman-Zavala and Dr. Hinshaw. We invite attendees to listen to an episode of the Code Switch podcast– “Who You Calling ‘Hispanic’?”– ahead of time and participate in a conversation about the episode and the exhibit’s themes of race, migration, and identity. Attendees will be able to view the exhibit before or after the discussion. This is a free event.
