A thought-provoking community discussion on Latinidad and identity, featuring an esteemed panel of speakers: Dr. Isidro Ortiz from SDSU Chicano & Chicana Studies, Cris Sotomayor from San Diego Pride, Dr. Jade Power-Sotomayor from UCSD Theatre & Dance, and Francesca de Vera from San Diego Public Library.
The event will delve into the controversy surrounding the term "Latinx" and why it stirs strong emotions among some. A bipartisan group of elected officials of diverse Latina/o heritage is seeking to ban the term, deeming it "ethnically insensitive" and a distortion of the Spanish language, while others argue it's an act of cultural appropriation imposed by outsiders. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the complexities of Latinidad, identity and language.
