PUBLIC DIALOGUE

TUE, MAY 10 @ 7PM - FREE - Jackie Liebergott Black Box Theatre
"Some Other Race": Exploring the Diversity within the Latino story
Moderated by Noe Montez, Assistant Professor of Drama, Tufts University

Latinos are becoming a majority demographic in the US but yet still find themselves boxed into “some other race” on the US Census. How are Latinos updating our national narrative to be truly reflective of a changing America? How does the diversity inside of the Latino experience, whether Cuban, or Chicano, or South American, challenge and reflect the American cultural narrative? How do artists and communities create stories inside the breadth that is the Latino identity?
