The George A. Smathers Libraries and Pan Caribbean Sankofa will hold a public humanities program in Panama in August 2023 to examine the history and lives of the Caribbean people who lived and worked in the former Panama Canal Zone and in Panama. The program, which includes a panel discussion and traveling exhibit, will address the importance of identity, community, and culture as part of the Caribbean diaspora. In addition to raising awareness about the experiences of these Caribbean people, the program will foster dialogue and provide a forum for Caribbean people to share their voices and perspectives.
