Hudson County Community students, staff, and community members are invited to attend a special video screening and discussion in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, hosted by Continuing Education and the Office of Student Life and Leadership.
The event will feature clips from the new, groundbreaking PBS travel series, “Afro-Latino Travels with Kim Haas”, which shines a light, honors, and celebrates the historical and cultural contributions of Latin America’s African descendants. Host, Kim Haas, will lead an interactive discussion on various topics related to Afro-Latino culture and identity.
“We are introducing participants to Afro-Latinos and their profound legacy in the Americas through history, culture, cuisine, art, dance, music, environmental conservation, literature, sports, and festivals,” says Haas. “Afro-Latino Travels is about Black joy, pride and resilience despite centuries of oppression and under-representation.” The series and event will feature Afro-Latinos that will inspire participants with hope and optimism.
This event is hosted by Hudson County Community College's Continuing Education and the Office of Student Life and Leadership.
