Daily News | North Philly’s Taller Puertorriqueño looks back on the experiences of Black Latinos
If you haven’t made it to Taller Puertorriqueño’s Arturo Schomburg Symposium or it has been some time since the last one you attended, this might be a good year to grab a seat. The Puerto Rican and Latinx cultural hub in North Philadelphia will host its 26th annual event with an all-day virtual discussion that will reflect on the successes and challenges that Black Latinos have had over the last quarter century in the U.S. and Latin America.
“These discussions around structural racism and the healing process that comes with these conversations have brought us here today: to a moment when the Schomburg symposium is a grown adult, now.” Laurent-Perrault, a Ph.D. in the history of African diasporas in Latin America and the Caribbean, will open with a presentation about Haiti as a microcosm of African contributions to Latino Americans called “Invoking Améfrica Ladina.”
The discussions will be followed by Q and A sessions and archival multimedia presentations of previous Schomburg symposiums. General admission costs $25. Students have a discount at $12.50.
