Hispanic/Latinx Free Symposium
In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15), the San José State University School of Information held a free symposium to discuss best practices in library services to meet the needs of the Hispanic/Latinx community with greater impact, cultural understanding, and sensitivity.
Entitled “Making Vital Connections: Understanding and Serving the Hispanic/Latinx Community,” this inaugural event featured keynote addresses and panel discussions.
I had the honor of sitting on a panel at San Jose Sate University's School Hispanic Heritage Symposium.
I begin about 47 minutes in.#Antiracist #libraries #LIS #Education #HispanicHeritage #SJSU

"Antiracism without accountability," you're totally right. This is what's going on in the library world. Blah, blah, blah. Beautiful statements and no action. Even worse, despite of all the libraries' statements, what we are getting is a "reaction". Libraries use EDI as a shield, and not as a sword. That means, they try to cover their racist policies with a statement that doesn't mean absolutely nothing if it's not accompanied by real changes.
Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot!
Thank you Compa!
