‘Neglected’: preservation group moves to protect US Latino heritage sites as funding threats loom

The Latinos in Heritage Conservation group has raised alarms about the potential loss of historic sites that celebrate Latino history and culture in the U.S. Due to insufficient funding, many of these landmarks are at risk of disappearing, especially highlighted during Hispanic Heritage Month. This situation is critical as it not only threatens the preservation of cultural identity but also the rich contributions of Latinos to American history. Protecting these sites is essential for future generations to understand and appreciate the diverse tapestry of the nation's heritage.
