A Tale of Two Queen Cities explores the impacts of Latino immigration upon the cultural landscapes of two distinct but related locations: Charlotte, NC and Los Angeles, CA. This project organized a group of UNC-Charlotte students and faculty to create digital murals parallel to those created by students and faculty at Woodbury College in California. This project was made possible through the  Chancellor’s Diversity Challenge Fund.
