Latino history exhibit to be displayed again in Lorain County – The Morning Journal

In September 2021, the exhibit Celebrating 100 Years: Latino History in Lorain, Ohio, opened at the Lorain Historical Societys Carnegie Center and ran through October, according to a news release.

The exhibit, which was created as part of the Latino Lorain History Project, kicked off National Hispanic Heritage Month by shining a spotlight on Vine Avenue.

This thoroughfare once was the hub of Latino/Hispanic culture, business and social and spiritual life that, unfortunately, ended with the city of Lorains urban renewal program of the late 1960s and early 1970s, according to the release.

The nine-panel display has been making its way around Lorain County, most recently at the International Festival, where it was very well received.

For National Hispanic Heritage Month 2022, the exhibit will split its time among three locations.

From Sept. 1-15 at the South Lorain Branch of the Lorain Public Library System, 2121 Homewood Drive in Lorain.

From Sept. 22-Oct. 8 at the Oberlin Public Library, 65 S. Main St. in Oberlin.

From Oct. 10-30 at the Stocker Arts Center, Lorain County Community College, 1005 Abbe Road North in Elyria.
