FLAGSTAFF — Riordan Mansion State Historic Park will feature the “Evening Lecture: Todos Unidos” presented by Breann Velasco at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5 at 409 W. Riordan Road.
Working for the Arizona Historical Society’s Pioneer Museum and Riordan Mansion State Historic Park is what founded Breann Velasco’s research interest of the Hispanic history in Flagstaff. It is a community whose role in Flagstaff’s past has often been overlooked. Using oral histories, city documents, photographs, newspapers, etc. Breann chronicles the Hispanic community’s experience; beginning with early immigration at the turn of the century to the establishment of a vibrant culture. Beyond this lecture, you can learn more about this community’s story in the exhibit curated by Breann, “Todos Unidos: The Hispanic Experience in Flagstaff” at the Pioneer Museum.
