Dear Primos and Friends:

Lots of good news: Not only is the general public being informed about the historic presence of Latinos in the United States through public media, more and more of us are making our voices heard by writing, speaking on radio, making presentations, supporting heritage events, and in general, speaking up when history is incorrect.

Together we are making a difference. Thank you for your contributions, sharing your writings and sending diverse tidbits, always an education.

If you have photos of a Hispanic Heritage Month event that you attended, please send them along with a who-what- when-where sentence or two.

Enjoy October . . .
God bless, Mimi
