ABOUT
WHAT IS THIS?
We asked 31 Latinos to give book recommendations featuring Latino themes or Latino authors throughout Latino Heritage Month.
WHAT PROMPTED THIS?
There is a lack of representation of Latino culture within the U.S. educational system and literature.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE 31 DAYS?
At the end of the month, we will take those recommendations and buy books from a Latino bookstore and donate them to a local NYC high school.
