During National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 – October 15, the University of Houston Libraries Special Collections honors and celebrates the contributions of Hispanic Americans with the exhibit, Reflexiones: Reflections of Houston’s Hispanic Heritage.
The exhibit reflects the immeasurable contributions of Latinos to the Houston community and greater Texas. Included books and archival material elaborate on landmarks in Latinos’ history, scholarship, social activism, and self-expression.
Of particular note are documents from the University of Houston University Archives and Hispanic Collections, which provide a lens for viewing the evolution of Hispanic organizations and leadership on the UH campus. The impact of this important work and leadership resonate throughout the landscape of the campus to this day.
Materials will be on view starting September 15 through October 15 in the MD Anderson Library. Questions and inquiries can be sent to archivist and curator, Lisa Cruces.
