Randell Research Center is partnering with the Cape Corall Museum of History to host scholar and Florida Humanities speaker Magdalena Lamarre. Lamarre’s presentation will examine the migration and settlement patterns of the various Afro-Caribbean peoples who made Florida their home and their contributions to its history and culture.  A Pew Research Center survey of Latine adults revealed that one-quarter of all U.S. Latines self-identify as Afro-Latine, Afro-Caribbean, or of African descent with roots in Latin America. In the U.S., Latines with Caribbean roots are more likely to identify as Afro-Latine or Afro-Caribbean than those with roots elsewhere. Join us for this interesting lecture!

This will be a hybrid presentation.
