In 2015, Juan A. Espinoza, a current third-year student at Harvard Law School, spent his summer participating in one of the Law Schoolâs enrichment programs. Espinoza recalled walking through a famous hall where the portraits of professors were displayed. He remembers asking himself how it was possible there was so little representation.
âHow crazy is it that there isnât a single Latino up on these walls?â Espinoza said. âI remember having a very visual image of custodial staff â two Latino immigrants â cleaning the portraits of these professors and yet, there being no one from my community or any Latino immigrants represented on the faculty.â
