Durham’s Latinx community will receive special recognition just after the city’s 150th anniversary—its first exhibit at the Museum of Durham History. The museum will collect oral histories from various Latinx people in Durham throughout the next few months to prepare for a September opening. “Our goal first and foremost is to tell the stories that aren't often the most prominent," said Patrick Mucklow, executive director of the Museum of Durham History. "We feel like the story of the Latino community is not well represented in Durham and we want to try and tell it." The exhibit comes after several years of planning by museum staff, who are turning to the community to gather their recollections of life in Durham. Because of the museum's limited size, exhibits will tend to focus more on stories than artifacts. “We can tell you what happened on this date in this place, but it will go in one ear and out the other. But if we tell you about a specific person and their experiences and their recollections, it makes the history more personal,” said Jeanette Shaffer, the museum's director of operations. However, not all of their stories will be celebratory. In February, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested roughly 200 people in raids across the state, some of whom were arrested in Durham. According to Durham police officer Karina Ramos, the raids have caused the Latinx community to distrust Durham police. In an attempt to forge relationships and trust, officers like Ramos are frequenting the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, where hundreds of Latinx residents worship on Sundays.
