This year, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is collaborating with Maria Salgado Cartagena, Director of Community-Based Learning, who is known as the “Latinx People’s Historian and Storyteller” of Holyoke.

Holyoke is known to be largely Latinx with more than 54% identifying as Puerto Rican. During the tour, we will discuss the history of Holyoke and its impact on the area economy through the migration of Puerto Ricans since after World War II. We will consider how Mount Holyoke College can continue building relationships and expanding its reach to local communities in a day of reconciliation and racial healing.
