Through images and stories, this exhibition provides a historical overview of U.S. Latino participation in World War II. Images of Valor incorporates archival photographs with contemporary photographs of men and women of the WWII generation by photojournalist Valentino Mauricio. The exhibition focuses on individual stories that reveal larger themes such as citizenship and civil rights and includes excerpts from oral history interviews with the featured Latino veterans.
Images of Valor: U.S. Latinos and Latinas in World War II is curated by the Voces Oral History Center at The University of Texas at Austin and presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
