National Museum of American History Looks at Latino Labor Rights

A new display, "The Case of Luisa Moreno," in the American Enterprise exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, opens July 19 to examine the lasting legacy of Moreno, the Guatemala-born labor organizer who brought together more than 100 groups in 1938 for El Congreso de Pueblos de Habla EspaƱola, the Spanish-Speaking People's Congress. It is considered the first national Hispanic civil rights assembly.
