Collecting 'Voces de la Comunidad' with Josh Berk and Guillermo Lopez | Charla Comunitaria

Olga welcomes Josh Berk, executive director of the Bethlehem Area Public Library, who talks about the Voces de la Comunidad project and mural - which focused on capturing the stories of the Latinx/Hispanic community in Bethlehem.

Then, she speaks with Guillermo Lopez, one of the participants in the project. He talks about his experience, and about the Guillermo Lopez Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Institute, which will be unveiled during the Pennsylvania Latino Convention on Sept. 29.
