HISTORY OF THE BRONX LATINO

AN ONGOING EXHIBITION AT THE MUSEUM OF BRONX HISTORY

This exhibition is part of The Bronx County Historical Society's latest endeavor, The Bronx Latino History Project. The project discusses and highlights various Latinos living (or who have lived) in the Bronx from the mid-19th century to the present. Because Latinos consist of more than half the borough's current population and this includes owning the most Bronx businesses, there is a large amount of historical information yet to be collected among the Latino community. The project also involves pursing intense research to unearth information from the past. Click here to learn more about this important project.
