Lillian Agosto Maldonado

As a 2023 Smithsonian Latino Museum Studies Program Fellow, I have been working with the team that recently launched the new exhibition ¡De última hora! Latinas Report Breaking News at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. As part of the team, I researched archival materials from WKAQ, which are now preserved in the museum’s Spanish Language Broadcasting Collection. Studying the collection hit me emotionally, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation of the history of communications in Puerto Rico and the people who inaugurated a new era of television.
