Land of My Family: Oklahoma
The Latino Experience in Oklahoma
This special exhibit features interviews, artifacts, documents, photographs, film, and music to explore both the impact of Latinos on the state of Oklahoma and the impact of the state of Oklahoma on the lives of Latinos. The exhibit integrates two story lines: the historical immigration of Latinos to Oklahoma from territorial days to present, and the cultural folkways that Oklahoma’s Latino people have carried with them from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
Oklahoma is home to cultures from all over the world. Our differences make us a unique blend of people that each calls Oklahoma home. This exhibit provides a place to tell these immigration stories, a place to share and begin to understand and learn about the diversity of our state of Oklahoma.
