This project is supported once more by the Local Government of San Cristobal de La Laguna, through the Department of Historical Heritage, as well as by Government of the Canary Islands through the Directorate General of Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n

This time, FICHLA acknowledges history, focusing its theme on the 50th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n

FICHLA will also host the “The Struggle of Lyndon B. Johnson” exhibition, reflecting the hard work by the US president in the battle for racial equality in North America.<\/p>\n
