Migrations: Latin American Cultural Vibrancy

The history of America is indelibly linked to the movement of people. Some were brought here not of their own free will, and their perseverance and resilience transformed the nation. Others came here-or moved within the borders of this country-because they sought a new life, free from poverty, discrimination, and persecution. The many contributions-cultural, social, and political-of these migrations, and the people who helped to build this country and what it means to be American, are honored in Carnegie Hall’s festival Migrations: The Making of America.
In "Migrations: Latin America Cultural Vibrancy," Cecilia Tornaghi discusses the close relationship shared between Latin American and US cultures.
