Paloma’s song for Puerto Rico: A Diary of 1898
Children’s author Adriana Erin Rivera reads from her middle grade book “Paloma's Song for Puerto Rico", a story about a 12-year-old girl and her family dealing with Puerto Rico’s historical upheaval in 1898. “Paloma’s Song” is part of the Nuestras Voces series, a collaboration with the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of the American Latino, which profiles inspiring characters and honors the joys and challenges of Latinos. Families will enjoy a visual presentation, a performance by the author of an original song from the book, light refreshments, and a Q&A session.

Diego Rivera
Born in 1886 in Guanajuato, Mexico, Diego Rivera was of Spanish, Amerindian, African, Italian,
Jewish, Russian, and Portuguese descent. An avant-garde easel painter, his works are in
museums around the world. But his most celebrated achievements are his murals. He stands
out as one of the giants of Mexican Muralism, a state-sponsored movement aimed at
celebrating the nation’s history, indigenous culture, and post-Revolutionary ideals. Besides
decorating government buildings in Mexico, Rivera’s monumental murals are found in
museums in Detroit and San Francisco. However, in popular culture today, he is famous for
being the husband of Frida Kahlo!
