BACKGROUND:
The Antioch and Prewett Libraries are applying for a National Endowment for the Humanities grant entitled Latino
Americans: 500 Years of History. The grant will support exploration of the rich and varied history and cultural
experiences of Latinos through community wide programming and development of materials such as oral histories
and book collections. With a large demographic of Latino and Hispanic residents, the Antioch Libraries and
community will benefit greatly from this grant. The grant will allow the library to reach out to an underserved
population, encourage Latino/ Latina community pride, foster stronger communication among all residents and
create partnerships with diverse community organizations.
