The Latinx History Project (LHP) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit volunteer-led organization founded in April 2000 and incorporated in May 2007 to respond to the critical need to preserve and educate about our history. Our mission is to investigate, collect, preserve and educate the public about the history, culture, heritage, arts, social and rich contributions of the Latinx GLBTQIA+ community in metropolitan Washington, D.C. To accomplish our mission, the LHP creates educational exhibits from our historical archives collection showcased at cultural events such as, a Women’s History Month Reception, a Latinx/Hispanic LGBTQ Heritage Reception and DC Latinx Pride, educational presentations at local and national conferences and through our online virtual museum at www.LatinxHistoryProject.org.
