CSW Celebrates Latinx Heritage Month
In observance of Latinx Heritage Month, September 15-October 15, members of CSW's Sociedad Latinx recently hosted an educational celebration at all-school assembly. Students shared the history of the Nuyorican Movement and read poems by Latinx poets who identify as Nuyorican (Puerto Ricans from New York.) These poems speak to a bit of Latinx history as well as to experiences of identity.
