This article is both a discussion of public history and an exploration into the lack of Latinos in museums and humanities positions where culture and identity are collected and presented. Public history and museum studies make up a list of invisible careers for Latinos and people of color.

At the same time, the exploration into the linkages between public history and museum studies is an attempt to demystify and take certain lingo from contemporary culture out of these vocations. This article also calls for the need to examine the role of the independent scholars and curators in the process of presenting culture and history.
