Description
Local Archaeologist Dr. Alicia Valentino shares a look at a multicultural, low-income community circa the 1930s. Artifacts recovered demonstrate the continued presence of ethnic populations that were discouraged, if not forbidden, to reside within city limits, and their attempts to maintain their heritage using everyday materials. This event is free!
