Difference between revisions of "Indiana's Crossroads: Celebrating BIPOC Pioneers of the Americas"

Latest revision as of 20:28, 5 October 2024

This edit-a-thon celebrates the groundbreaking contributions and legacy of BIPOC pioneers across North America, with a special focus on highlighting Latinx innovators during this year's Latin American Heritage Month. By crossing both cultural and geographical borders, we aim to amplify the voices of those who have shaped our world yet remain underrepresented on Wikipedia

While Indianapolis may not be widely known for its Latino heritage, we’ve partnered with the Indiana Historical Society to shine a spotlight on key figures in Indiana’s Latino history! We’re featuring four remarkable individuals (none of whom currently have Wikipedia articles) and to celebrate their legacies and share their stories, we’ve created special postcards highlighting each of these historical figures.

Our goal? To spark interest and inspire Wikipedians at the conference to help bring these stories to life by creating articles and giving these figures the recognition they deserve on Wikipedia.

Join us in bringing these stories to life and preserving the rich history of Indiana’s Latino community!
