The presence of a vibrant Latino community in North Carolina is fairly recent histo
ry. Seeking better futures for their families, many Latinos have made their homes here since the 1980s.
Observing this trend, José Galvez, an accomplished photojournalist who is himself Mexican-American, moved with his family from Arizona to North Carolina in 2004 to document this emerging population. The resulting images, taken over 10 years, reveal the diversity and strength of the state’s growing Latino community.
These photographs of Latino North Carolinians working, worshiping and celebrating will be highlighted in an exhibit introducing two “firsts” at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. Al Norte al Norte: Latino Life in North Carolina,opening Friday, May 4, isthe museum’s first exhibit to focus on the state’s Latino community, and also the institution’s first bilingual exhibit. With English and Spanish descriptions, Al Norte al Norte features 51 compelling images by the Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist. From business owners and farm laborers to grandparents and kindergarten graduates, the photographs capture the daily life of Latino North Carolinians. Admission is free, and the exhibit will run through April 28, 2013.
While traveling across North Carolina, Galvez has been struck by the strength of the Latino community. “I’ve been surprised by the sheer determination of people wanting to fit in, just to work, wanting to provide for family.”
The growth of the Latino community in North Carolina has been unprecedented. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 8.4 percent of the state’s population is Latino. Just 20 years earlier, this community made up only 1.2 percent of the state’s population.
Recognizing this rapid growth, the Museum of History has embarked on a wide-reaching initiative to better serve the state’s Latino community.
“In addition to Al Norte al Norte: Latino Life in North Carolina,the museum is planning a variety of related programs, developing Spanish-language visitor resources, publicizing the exhibit and events in Spanish-language media outlets, and working with a Latino Community Advisory Board to better target the museum’s offerings toward the community’s needs,” noted Associate Curator Diana Bell-Kite. “We hope our Latino visitors will increasingly see their history and culture reflected within the museum and that all of our visitors will learn more about their Latino neighbors.”
Photographs in Al Norte al Norte reflect the Latino community adapting to and shaping life across North Carolina. Here, captured in black and white, are brothers loading Christmas trees raised on their Ashe County tree farm, children lined up for their first Communion in Durham, and an engineer studying project plans in Kitty Hawk. Other images depict a man with an American flag at an immigrant family rights vigil, a young mother who has just become an American citizen, and a newly named Miss Duplin County Latina.
In addition, Al Norte al Norte features photographs of and items associated with a quinceañera, the celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday that marks her passage from girlhood to young womanhood in many Latin American cultures. The exhibit includes the baby-blue quinceañera dress that Perla Melendez wore at her 2007 celebration in Raleigh, as well as her “last doll” (which symbolizes the end of childhood) and other accessories.
Come see Al Norte al Norte to learn more about family, faith, culture and work in the Latino community in North Carolina. Take advantage of the free exhibit-related programs. Details are available in English and Spanish at ncmuseumofhistory.org/latino.
Al Norte al Norte received generous support from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and the project is made possible by funding in part from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the North Carolina Museum of History Associates.
