AMIGOS at Vanderbilt hosts panel Monday on meaning of "Nashvillian"

On Monday, February 28, 2011, AMIGOS at Vanderbilt University will be hosting Will Pedigo, director of the television series Next Door Neighbors. The documentary focuses on the changing cultural landscape of Nashville and what is means to be a “Nashvillian.” Pedigo will show one section of his series, entitled Hablamos Español, and will be leading a panel discussion centered around the Latino community in Nashville schools. The documentary even features some of the schools to which AMIGOS sends volunteers.

AMIGOS, a service organization dedicated to serving Nashville’s Latino community through tutoring and ESL courses, invites the Nashville community to join in this discussion. It is free to students and to the public, and there will be complimentary snacks and drinks. The documentary viewing will begin at 7pm, followed immediately by the panel discussion, at the Sarratt Cinema Student Life Center, Meeting Rooms 1&2, on the Vanderbilt University campus.
