Angelica Heritage Day

For this Hispanic Heritage Month Paper I chose the Inventor Guillermo González Camarena who invented the first color TV screen. The life of Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena started in Guadalajara on February 17, 1917. When Guillermo was 2 years old he moved to Mexico City where as a young boy he made electrically propelled toys and at 12 he constructed his first amatuer radio. When Guillermo was young he established a laboratory in the basement of his house! In 1930 he was selected to go to the School of Mechanical and Electronic Engineers and after two years was given permit as a radio administrator. While he tested in his research facility, he worked at the radio station of the Ministry of Education. In 1934 he fabricated his own TV camera when

The Madonna of 115th Street is an amazing example of hospitality throughout history. The excerpt details the days and nights of the Festa. On July 16th, the great bell in the campanile of the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel announces that the festa had begun. This fetsa unites several Italian communities from those in Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California. Preparation for this festival can take weeks at a time, houses are cleaned from head to toe in anticipation of housing relatives visiting from other states. For the next few weeks the community gathers together in the streets and celebrates greatly from sunrise to sunset. Music, dancing, fires, festivals, everything is prominent in the streets as the Italian community seeks to express itself. The festa is a time to come together and create a sense of community. Religious foundations, sharing of food, parades, all of this signifies what it is to be a part of the Festa. Hospitality is creating a warm and welcome environment to those around you. Everything about the Festa signifies these qualities.

I am going to tell you about a famous, yet kinda eerie celebration that takes place in mexico. This is a tradition celebrated by the Mexican Natives, most Mexican Americans (including myself) don’t even acknowledge this day, unless they happen to be visiting mexico at the time of this event.

Fee was born in 1816 to farm and slave owners of Bracken County, Kentucky (Fee, John). Fee’s father owned up to 13 slaves at one point in order to keep a steady running farm and argued that no sin had been committed (Fee). Raised in this lifestyle, Fee saw slaves as a normal part of life however gotten into trouble for playing and standing up for his fellow slaves (Fee). Seeing no indifference between colors at a young age, Fee later grew to realize the sins of slavery as he gave himself to god during adolescence. First joining a Presbyterian Church with his father, Fee matured with his faith to study Gospel Ministry (Fee). Through his studies, he met two classmates that challenged his understandings of slavery with the holy text. Coming to an understanding, Fee realized to keep his soul he must become an “abolitionist” and fight for his love of God and mankind (Fee). Fee returned home after his studies to convert mislead followers from his native state, beginning with his father. With this ineffective pursuit he also found a love pursuit and his future wife, Matilda Hamilton, whom supported him through his trials. Fee continued to spread his teachings to neighboring churches, and established a strong community for black families in Camp Nelson (“Walk of Fame Recipient Plaque 5”). In a pursuit to create equality and save man from sin, Fee touched many hearts and ultimately created the first co-racial college in the South (“Walk of Fame Recipient Plaque

Douglass’s ethos is never more apparent than the preface preceding the story. This introductory note provides a rich background of Douglass’s life as a former slave and transformation into a famous abolitionist, serving as authentication that the piece was written by a literate and educated African American. For instance, in an excerpt

Frederick Douglass, an inspirational man and the most well known African American abolitionists, was enslaved since birth (“Frederick Douglass,” Historic World Leaders). He attempted escape twice and failed, but on the third try, he was successful. Once in the North, Douglass joined in on abolitionist groups and used his powerful speeches to share his experiences with the public. As he had learned to read and write, he was able to become the editor for the newspaper, North Star, and even spoke to audiences in London about abolitioning slavery and his experiences (“Frederick Douglass,” Notable Black American Men). Serving as a slave from birth to age 20, Frederick Douglass never stopped fighting for his freedom or others’, as after he escaped

This past Wednesday, October 12th, I had the opportunity to visit a photo exhibit that was being displayed at Plaza de la Raza. The photo exhibit was dedicated to those actors and actresses that have put the Latino talent in Hollywood. The photo exhibit is part of the Hispanic Month, and from September 1st to October 15th we have forty-five glorious days to celebrate it. In Los Angeles, the Hispanic Month is also being addressed as Latino Heritage Month LA. This is a month where the people from Los Angeles get together to celebrate their traditions and culture with other Angelenos along with the people around the world who come to LA during this time as well.

I wanted to hear more about the story of the family, Judge, and Mrs. E. B. Crocker and how and why they were so generous with their artwork. We first started in the new part of the house, where the modern art is displayed, and then we proceeded to go to the older part, which is inside two old houses, so I loved seeing all the old architecture and walking through all the rooms imagine what it was like when people lived there. My favorite part of this whole visit was when, I was trying to find out how the museum acquired all this artwork and

This article is interesting because it shows the many conflicting view points regarding Hispanic Heritage month. It also tells a story about racial identity. For example, "Cesar Lopez identifies himself as Honduran", but Abraham Espina identifies her as Mexican. No matter what they identify as, they are always put into categories such as Hispanic or Latino. This proves a a dilemma for young Spanish speaking people who are trying to identify themselves and celebrate their heritage. Would it be possible to possible to be more precise with the recognition of Spanish and Latin American heritage? This article makes me wonder about who has the right to put people into groups; is it the government or the people

In areas of the country with large Mexican-American populations such as Portland large festivals are held. Portland Oregon’s three-day Cinco de Mayo fiesta has been celebrated for the past 30 years, attracting thousands of visitors. The crowds

Standing in silence, gazing up at the magnificent Totem Poles I was thankful for the chilly, misty day. The moody weather served to keep the crowds away, and I found myself alone amongst the poles at Brockton Point. Easily one of our city’s most frequented tourist attractions, it is extremely unusual to be standing alone amongst these magnificent, historical pieces. Masterfully crafted, each intricate pole tells a unique and compelling story. Captivated, I took my time and carefully studied the poles.

This unique and contemporary event provides patrons with live entertainment, food and drink as they revel in the wonders the museum has to offer. Carrie Martin’s aim is to attract at least 3,500 visitors for the grand opening and maximize profits. Corporate capabilities, competitors, and consumers will be examined to develop an effective marketing plan.

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s independence day, contrary to popular belief. It is a celebration of the triumph of Mexico in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, which is over half a century after Mexico became independent. It all started in 1861, when Mexico got a liberal president took over a country in financial ruin and Napoleon decided he wanted to create an empire in Mexico. The Battle of Puebla was just one part of the war, but it was an important moment during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). The battle showed that the country could defend itself against powerful nations, even when they were vastly outnumbered.
