Join us to discuss Chicago's Latinx History and its importance with Dr. Lilia Fernández, Professor of History at University of Illinois Chicago and author of Brown in the Windy City: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in Postwar Chicago.
Dr. Fernández specializes in the history of Latinos/as/x in the mid-to-late 20th century United States. Her research interests lie at the intersection of urban history, labor and working-class politics, and economic inequality.
