5 de Mayo

In 1974 I was surprised to see how much attention was given to the defeat of the French in Puebla, that day of 1862. I thought then that maybe it was a convenient date when the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) was ending the quarter, and students were in a party mood.

In Mexico we celebrate Independence (September 16,1810) and Revolution (November 20, 1910) with more gusto.

Be it is as it may, next week is May 5.

Go out and protest young Mexicans; only by speaking up, will anybody hear what we need.

¡Viva la Raza de Bronce!
