We will take a journey through the sprawling region known as Latin America, focusing on its pre-history, history, cultures, and contemporary importance in the world. Often ignored, Latin America deserves greater attention because of its geographical proximity and because almost 20% of the U.S. population traces its heritage to the region. Using the virtual and/or physical exhibits of the newly created Latin American Cultural Center in Pittsburgh, we will come to appreciate the vibrancy and dynamism of this part of the world.
