The photo on the left was taken at one of Washington D.C.’s earliest Latino cultural festivals–the 1980 Hispanic Folk Festival, as the original caption states. Photo courtesy of the DC Library’s Washingtoniana Collection. The photo on the right was taken in July 2015 by Hola Cultura intern Oliver Garretson.

As part of our online Hispanic Heritage Month festivities, it’s a pleasure to present the first of an occasion series of  BEFORE/AFTER photographs of the Washington D.C. Latino community and landmarks. Come back again soon for more historic views of the District!
