FW: Somos Primos November 2016 (lq1)

Joseph,

I think Somos Primos is very informative and an excellent resource. I learn
so much about history and culture from Somos Primos, way more than I learn
from school or anywhere else. Just in the last few issues, I've learned
about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Gálvez, The American Revolution, new DNA
discoveries in Mexico, plus I learned about Repatriation, The Cristeros,
new saints and a bunch of stuff i didn't know about politics and
contributions to history. It's like I'm reading an entirely different
journal than some people. Plus, it's a link, No one says you have to click
on it. But, if you don't you're missing out on a lot of valuable
information.

Danny C. Alonso

This is a great newsletter. Thank you for sharing.
