Latino Pioneers inhttps://youtu.be/dLzIE0e87Ac Boston #2. Is a follow-up to a highly https://vimeo.com/210249595 successful acclaimed magazine, exhibition, and documentary – which showcased the inspiring and unique stories of individuals who paved the way for next generations of Latinos. These leaders made significant contributions to the development and growth of the city of Boston. Building on the success of the first film, this sequel aims to go deeper into the untold stories and achievements of these incredible men and women, uncovering their invaluable contributions across various fields such as arts, culture, education, politics, broadcasting, community activism, etc.
These stories are guided by Lorna Rivera, Ph.D., Associate Professor & Director, Mauricio Gastón Institute for Latino Community Development & Public Policy, University of Massachusetts-Boston. Her historical facts will provide the thread that unites this collection of stories.
