NEW YORK CITY - Following a lawsuit by the American Alliance for Equal Rights, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Latino stated that a Latino-focused internship program is now "equally open to students of all races and ethnicities," CNN reported.
The lawsuit claimed the Smithsonian's Latino Museum Studies Program undergraduate internship violated the US Constitution by discriminating based on race and ethnicity, stating the program hadn't hired any non-Latino interns in the past two years it operated, 2022 and 2023.
