Dear Readers. . .

Surely May 1, 2006 will be considered a pivotal day in the history of
the United States. We can thank the leadership, with great satisfaction
for the very orderly way the marches and boycotts were conducted.

Just received this gripping cartoon by Sergio Hernandez. Hopefully the
energetic, but peaceful voices will change the perspective of many
concerned with the increasing numbers of Hispanic/Latinos in the U.S..

Reference to the historical contributions past as well as present were
frequent in the interviews in both the English and Spanish language on
the radio and TV stations.

For you interest and support is a copy of the Senate Bill pertaining to
the feasibility of a National Museum of the American Latino Community is
the first item under U.S.

Hope you enjoy the Cinco de Mayo photo taken by Somos Primos reader
Robert Gonzalez serving in the Navy in Japan. Please feel invited to
send photos demonstrating that the Hispanic presence is, and was, all
over the world in the past, as in the present.

Warm regards, Mimi
