Students in HIST 135
“Introduction to Latin American History” prepare a community altar in
the Munroe Hall lobby for the 2021 Día de los Muertos (Days of the Dead) event. This ritual, which blends pre-Hispanic beliefs that the
departed travel from the underworld
to their graveside or home altar once each year with Roman Catholic All
Souls’ Day, takes place the night of November 1 into November 2. This
year's altar was dedicated to those who have died as a result of
COVID-19. Dr. Robles’ students were asked to participate
by creating mementos of loved ones who had passed, place them on the
altar, and write about their experience.
