WE ARE: Education

We help teach the untold stories of Latinos in America

By educating the public about Latino contributions to the arts, sciences, and humanities, the Smithsonian Latino Center helps people understand the imprint of Latinos on our nation's history. From the Latino Virtual Gallery's on-line resources to traveling exhibitions such as Our Journeys, Our Stories: Portraits of Latino Achievement, to bilingual teacher’s guides, every one of our programs carries a strong educational focus.  These programs teach the public about an important piece of our nation's heritage which is seldom taught in the classroom.
