Nuestra Communidad: Our Community

Donation from Journalist and Publisher Enrique Fuentevilla:

The Butler Center is thankful for newly formed connections with the Hispanic and Latinx communities facilitated by Maria Aguilar, CALS’s Hispanic Community Liaison. Aguilar connected the Butler Center with Enrique Fuentevilla, a journalist and publisher who serves as the CEO of the Spanish-language publications company Cinco Media & Communications Group, LLC. Over the last two decades, Fuentevilla has collected Spanish-language newspapers from all over the state, from cities as large as Little Rock and as small as De Queen.

The Butler Center’s Danielle Afsordeh said, “Enrique Fuentevilla has generously donated this collection to the Butler Center, so that CALS may preserve and provide access to these resources that document the development of the Spanish-language community in the state. We look forward to further additions to the archival collection that are reflective of Hispanic and Latinx community development in Arkansas.”
