The Molina Gallery’s exhibitions will present stories on many, if not most, of the remarkable Americans featured throughout this book. This gallery fulfills a promise and vision set years earlier-before the creation of what would become the Latino Center. Nuestra América is inspired by the Smithsonian Latino Center’s effort to center Latino stories as part of the greater American narrative through the building of the Molina Family Latino Gallery at the National Museum of American History. Since its inception in 1997, the Smithsonian Latino Center has supported ongoing research, exhibitions, collecting, public and educational programs, digital content, and publications that interpret and illustrate the diverse Latino experience in the United States.
Latinas and Latinos-native born and immigrant-have played and continue to play foundational roles in nation-building and the shaping of our national culture as patriots, educators, entrepreneurs, laborers, artists, healers, innovators, entertainers, scientists, community activists, and leaders.
