The Southern District of Florida hosted its yearly Hispanic heritage event yesterday. The event featured Chief Judge Altonaga interviewing former CEO of HistoryMiami and current director of the Smithsonian American Museum of the American Latino, Jorge Zamanillo. Some version of the Museum of the American Latino has been contemplated since the 90s, but the museum has still not been built. It did, however, have its first official exhibit, ¡Presente!, in June 2022, albeit at the National Museum of American History. Funds are still being collected for the future building which hopes to be located in the National Mall.
The event was organized by Hispanic Heritage Committee Co-Chairs Judge López-Castro and AUSA Yeney Hernández. Kudos to them and the rest of the committee for another wonderful event, which always features an extravagant spread afterwards.
