Project Summary

"Apoyo KY: Supporting Hispanic/Latinx Communities in Kentucky" is an oral history series featuring individuals who work with and support Hispanic/Latinx communities in Kentucky. Each interview covers the interviewee's life and work, as well as the impact of the COVID pandemic. The project objectives include increased awareness of the work interviewees do and the issues they face, the identification of community needs and/or resource gaps among the Hispanic/Latinx populations in Kentucky, a consideration of potential partnerships and outreach opportunities between University of Kentucky Libraries and Hispanic/Latinx populations in Kentucky, and the preservation of interviewees’ stories as important artifacts of our unique historical moment.
