🗳️East End voters: Don’t forget that there’s a hugely important midterm election coming up that will decide both representation in the House and U.S. Senate, as well as Governor and state offices, and Harris County positions, including County Judge.
This event appears to cover a lot of ground, including Q&As with candidates, voter registration — and the crucial concerns over large numbers of registered voters being “suspended.” You can check your registration here — and get help, if you’ve been removed!
See the contact info on the notice for more info. 🇺🇸

So proud of Siani! Congratulations on your wonderful work!

Congratulations to our former USLDH-Morales Memorial Foundation intern, Siani Alanis, on her acceptance into Arizona State University's Museum and Curatorial Practices Master's Program!

Siani reflected on the role her work at Arte Público Press/Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Program: "I learned how to digitize documents, create metadata, and create protocols for the collection. I learned the value of digitization in the modern age of archiving, especially as it pertains to the preservation of history of diverse populations. Working at Arte Público Press/Recovery gave me a new insight into archival work, and inspired me to want to continue doing archival work in the future."
