Hosted by the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability in collaboration with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Office, this event promises to be both educational and inspiring. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Cecil H Green Library at Stanford, you'll be surrounded by an atmosphere of learning and discovery.
During this hour-long session, you'll have the chance to explore a curated selection of archival materials that highlight the diverse narratives and contributions of Mexican-American and Latin American communities.

Adan Griego, Curator for the Latin American, Mexican American & Iberian Collections will guide us through the archives, offering context and commentary that brings these stories to life. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs experienced by these communities, as well as their enduring impact on society. This is a rare opportunity to engage with primary sources and gain a firsthand appreciation of the resilience and creativity that define Mexican-American and Latin American heritages.
