The Latino connection to Worcester’s history is one of educational advancement, social justice activism and economic opportunities. For these reasons, it is vital that the Latino story is told in the community’s own words, and documented and shared in the city’s archives and museums, according to College of the Holy Cross faculty, staff and students involved in the Latino History Project initiative.
