Land of Opportunity: Latino Entrepreneurs of North Carolina

Funded by NALAC through the support of the Ford Foundation and JP Morgan Chase, this exhibit includes not only photographs but also oral histories about the lives of Hispanic business owners, their trials and triumphs. This project was presented as it evolved at Louisburg College in 2007, in the Durham City Mayor’s office in early 2008, and at NC State in Fall, 2008. It comes complete with panels of excerpts as well as information on economic impacts of immigrant business.
