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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The nine-panel display has been making its way around Lorain County, most recently at the International Festival, where it was very well received.<\/p>\n
For National Hispanic Heritage Month 2022, the exhibit will split its time among three locations.<\/p>\n
From Sept. 1-15 at the South Lorain Branch of the Lorain Public Library System, 2121 Homewood Drive in Lorain.<\/p>\n
From Sept. 22-Oct. 8 at the Oberlin Public Library, 65 S. Main St. in Oberlin.<\/p>\n
From Oct. 10-30 at the Stocker Arts Center, Lorain County Community College, 1005 Abbe Road North in Elyria.<\/p>\n
