Labor and Support

The project was a joint effort between the Department of History and Modern and Classical Languages. History students did the research for the exhibit while students from MCLL translated the material into Spanish to create a fully bilingual exhibit. This project was originally conceived as a portable exhibit to go out to events in early 2020. The pandemic changed those plans and in the summer of 2020, the team retooled the exhibit to be a virtual one.
