Herencias Latinas
A segment of the Hartford Heritage Project focused on Latino/a (Latinx) culture. The goal of this initiative is to collaborate with area organizations in order to develop educational opportunities for students, faculty and staff to understand and appreciate the diversity and complexity and history of the Latino population in the Hartford area.
History
In Spring 2023 the college officially launched Herencias Latinas, the segment focused on Latino culture.
A series of programs followed, bringing to light the many facets of Latino life in the Hartford area. Herencias Latinas at CT State Capital establishes new connections each semester!
Partnering with area organizations and developing educational activities and initiatives, we're working to understand and appreciate the diverse and complex history of Hartford's Latino population.
