Dear Primos and Friends:
This issue will fill you with both hope and pride. We are finally seeing the evidence of our contributions and accomplishments, in all areas of endeavor: education, labor, military, business and the arts.
A State of Texas historical plaque honoring Dr. Hector P. Garcia was unveiled on February 28th in Corpus Christi. A documentary on Cesar Chavez will be viewed across the country in March, 19 Latinos will have their Silver Stars, raised to Medal of Honor on March 18th, and we excelled at the academy awards.
To all who have contributed articles and tidbits, thank you, thank you, thank you. I invite everyone to send your family stories, small or large. Don't be hesitant. Everyone's life matters. History answers questions. Your experiences might have the piece missing for someone else's insight and understanding of their own life.
If you read about the accomplishments of a Latino, send it along, so that we can all applaud his/her success. . . .
If you sent an article or tidbit for submission and it has not appeared, please send it again. In the process of updating my
AOL version, I lost a bunch of files that were being stored for inclusion in Somos Primos.
Enjoy your St. Patrick Day . .
Mimi
