MCLA: A Legacy of Public Service

________________________________________________________________________



MCLA is proud to present two more episodes of five short "docu-videos" commemorating and documenting our work over the last 45 years. We have received very positive comments about how the inter-generational leadership and mission-focused work of the Council has proven to have a positive impact in raising visibility and solutions to improve the overall wellbeing of Hispanic/Latine Minnesotans over the decades.

We invite you to watch the *third episode *("1998-2008 Work that transcends borders") and *fourth episode *("2008-2018 Elevating Minnesotan?s Visibility and Contributions")?*here [ [link removed] ]! *Videos have Spanish subtitles.

Visit our new webpage [ [link removed] ] to learn more about Hispanic and Latino/a/e Minnesotans. If you would like to share your impressions, or have historical material about the Council to add to the collection, please write to [email protected] <[email protected]>
