Support the inspiring legacy of Santiago Iglesias Pantin
In January 2025, about 20 objects from or about Santiago Iglesias Pantín were donated to the Smithsonian Institution for its permanent collection and for a possible SIP exhibit in the future Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino. We thank family members Santiago Iglesias Belendez, Haydee Iglesias Belendez, and Tim Iglesias for their generosity in gifting these items in honor of the Iglesias Family Foundation.
