That summer, Hola Cultura chronicled the last half-century of a Latino presence in the District. The special issue published at the end included interviews, photos, and videos. Interns also used online software to map the presence of Latinos in D.C. neighborhoods using U.S. Census data dating back as far as 1970. The organization also launched a documentary screening series in partnership with the American Libraries Association and hosted its first sold-out TamalFest D.C. This culinary festival attracted hundreds of people who came out to sample tamales made by local cooks representing six different Latin American cuisines.
