Melted in the Pot: Hispanic Heritage Month Tour
“They’d like to think I have melted in the pot. But I haven’t, we haven’t.”
—Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza
The voices of Hispanic writers have always been part of the American literary landscape. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the incredible writing and achievements of Hispanic writers, from the first Puerto Rican librarian in New York City to the first Latino to win a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. This 15-minute tour introduces you to all areas of the AWM, and following the tour you can explore all of our exhibits more in depth.
Melted in the Pot is offered daily at 2:00 pm when the AWM is open. We are open Thursday through Monday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. We are closed Tuesday and Wednesday. This tour is included with admission and advanced registration is not required. Tours begin at the museum front desk.
