Nuestra Historia captures the presence and memories of Latinx identity on Davidson College\u2019s campus, primarily through the oral histories of alumni of Latinx or Latin American descent. Historically, as part of larger systems of power, the voices of the less privileged have been silenced, absent, and erased. This is not a comprehensive resource\u2014 rather, we intend for it serve as a mechanism for individuals to take charge of their narratives. This archive is a wealth of information and experience\u2014each student can share their own individualized experience at Davidson. We believe this speaks to the complexity of the Latinx identity as a whole\u2014everyone\u2019s experience is unique to them. We hope that this archive serves as a resource for those conducting research, incoming students, and all those who seek to further their understanding of what it means for different students to be Latinx at Davidson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project was possible through a Justice, Equality, and Community (J.E.C.) grant that began in Dr. Jane Mangan\u2019s Spring 2019 U.S. Latinx History course. Through this course, students had the opportunity to assemble mini archives on different themes pertaining to Latinx history on Davidson\u2019s campus, such as Latinx Greek organizations, the Latin American Studies department, and the Organization of Latinx American Students. In the subsequent school year, three student researchers set out to collect the oral histories of Latinx students who had graduated from Davidson. This archive amalgamates the research produced over the span of two years. We are actively working to expand this collection in the upcoming years. We hope that you find their stories as powerful and important as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestras Historias constituyen la memoria de la identidad Latinx en el campus de Davidson, principalmente a trav\u00e9s de historias orales de exalumnos Latinx de Davidson. Hist\u00f3ricamente, como parte de sistemas de poder a un nivel m\u00e1s amplio, las voces de los menos privilegiados han sido silenciadas, han quedado ausentes y han sido borradas. Esta no es una fuente de recursos comprensiva \u2013 si no que nuestra intenci\u00f3n es que sea un mecanismo para que las personas se apropien de sus narrativas. Este archivo contiene abundante informaci\u00f3n sobre experiencias \u2013 cada estudiante comparte sus propias experiencias en Davidson. Nosotros esperamos que sea un recurso para llevar a cabo investigaciones acad\u00e9micas, para los nuevos estudiantes y para  todos aquellos que desean entender lo que significa ser Latinx en Davidson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este proyecto fue posible gracias a la subvenci\u00f3n de la iniciativa Justicia, Igualdad y Comunidad (J.E.C.). Este proyecto se inici\u00f3 en un curso de la Dra. Jane Mangan titulado U.S. Latinx History, en la Primavera del 2019. En este curso, los estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de crear peque\u00f1os archivos sobre diferentes temas relacionados con la historia latinx del campus de Davidson, como las organizaciones griegas latinx, el Departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos de Davidson y la Organizaci\u00f3n de Estudiantes latinx americanos. Despu\u00e9s, el siguiente a\u00f1o acad\u00e9mico, tres estudiantes recopilaron  historias orales de exalumnos latinx de Davidson. Este archivo contiene la investigaci\u00f3n producida en el recorrido de dos a\u00f1os. Nosotros continuaremos ampliando esta colecci\u00f3n en los a\u00f1os que vienen. Esperamos que estas historias sean poderosas e importantes como son para nosotros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
