Huntington Fellows Herman Luis Chavez and Maria Guadalupe Partida speak with youth activist Crista Ramos and scholars Dr. Ruth Wasem and Dr. Cecilia Menjívar to discuss the immigration legislation known as Temporary Protection Status (TPS). TPS recipients receive temporary immigration status, work authorization, and protection from deportation until it is safe to return to their home countries without a direct path to permanent residency status. Library materials include photograph collections and Congressional service reports. A Latinx Resource Guide: Civil Rights Cases and Events is an online resource guide of civil rights figures, cases, and events impacting the Latinx community in the United States. The resource guide is available for access here.
