Dear pimos and friends:
Hope you all have a safe and fun July 4th. Remember our ancestors
helped bring about the victory!! For the 3rd year Hector Diaz will be
participating as part of the National Archives festivities in
Washington, D.C..
It is exciting to see the increasing of heritage activities across the
nations, which are including and recognizing the Hispanic/Latino
historical presence.
For example, new volunteer (we all are!) Somos Primos staff member,
Rafael Ojeda is moving two projects forward: identifying all the
Hispanic Purple Heart recipients, and the forming of a Spanish colonial
unit of reenactors in the state of Washington.
However, much understanding is still needed. Just this morning my
husband showed me an article in the latest U.S. News and World Report,
July 2/July 9, page 45: "Before 1848, Calfironia was just the sleepy
northern frontier of Mexico. The popultion consisted of at least
300,000 native Indians and _only 700 foreigners, *most of whom were
Americans*."_ No mention of the Spanish/Mexican presence.
I hope you will all be on the look-out for examples of */racism by
omission/ *in your area, and share with Somos Primos readers.
Warm regards, Mimi
