Aug 11    Civic Awareness Program: Latinx Issues in the Suburbs: 100+ years of immigration, contributions, and working towards equity
Free in-person program; all are welcome to attend. Can't join us in person? Register if you plan to attend virtually. In-person attendees do not need to register.

The League of Women Voters of Wheaton and The Robert McCormick House at Cantigny Park invite you to a program on Latinx Issues: 100 plus years of immigration, contributions, and working towards equity.


Immigrants from Latin America have been arriving and contributing to suburban communities for over 100 years. From the earliest Mexican immigrants who arrived to work on the railroad and live in boxcar camps to the Latinx entrepreneurs who today help keep suburban downtowns alive, the suburban cultural and economic landscape have been shaped by the contributions of Latinos over the past 100 years. Join Mexican Cultural Center DuPage Board Chair Sara Phalen to learn about the history of immigration to DuPage and the surrounding area and how Latinx immigrants have contributed to and struggled to have an equal voice in this region. Sara will be joined by Elizabeth Cervantes from the Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights who will inform attendees about naturalization challenges facing immigrants and reforms needed.

You can submit your questions to ccorrigan@fdmuseum.org or blaimins@gmail.com. During the presentation, virtual participants, please use the Q&A button located on the bottom of the Zoom screen.
