A Tale of Two Houses: A Dialogue on Black and Latinx History at UF
2018
SPOHP panel moderated by Paul Ortiz. Featuring UF Alumni and current students discussing the intersections of Black and Latinx Histories at UF from the 1960s to present.
Join us for a discussion on the histories of the Institute of Black Culture and the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Culture (aka “La Casita”), including their founding and their entwined legacies. Not a formal panel discussion, this is intended to be an open dialogue between these speakers and the UF community.
Panelists include Dr. David Horne (Cal State Northridge), one of the organizers of the Black Thursday protest that led to the founding of the IBC. Dr. Horne is accompanied by Dr. Maria Masque, former director of La Casita.
Also speaking are UF Students Daniel Clayton and Christopher Garcia.
Introduced by graduate research assistant Juliette Barbera, Juanita Duque, and moderated by Dr. Paul Ortiz
