The event will feature three 10-minute "Scranton Stories," drawn from a collection of video interviews with local residents. In the stories, Hispanic/Latinx Scrantonians give voice to a range of experiences and explain their hopes for the city and the nation.

The videos will be followed by a panel discussion that includes the interviewees. Alejandra Marroquin, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine's program lead for health equity and inclusion, will moderate.
