National Museum of the American Latino to Receive Permanent Home

For six years, the National Museum of the American Latino has operated without a designated building. This is set to change following a recent decision.

In August, the Smithsonian’s board of regents approved a permanent location for the museum. The new home will be in the historic Arts and Industries Building on the National Mall.

Geoff Bennett, co-anchor and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour, explored the significance of this development in a discussion with Jorge Zamanillo. Zamanillo serves as the founding director of the museum.

Bennett is known for his in-depth reporting and analysis. His work highlights the political and cultural dynamics influencing American life. You can follow his updates on Twitter @GeoffRBennett.
