Dear Primos and friends:
If you missed the first four hours of Latino Americanos, please don't
miss the last two hours of the 6-hour documentary. It will air Tuesday,
October 1st. It is excellent.
Latino Americanos successfully gives a broad overview of our very
diverse population, sharing the emotional consequences experienced by
Latinos from different parts of the US. Important historic points were
made by the facts, which should help all Latinos/Hispanics to understand
one another better. To most non-Hispanics it will surely be an
eye-opener. A CD of Latino Americanos will be available, and materials
for the classroom have been developed.
Congratulations to John Valadez and the other documentarians. They
certainly did their homework!! They shared with us a more honest view of
the Latinos experience in the United States, showing us to be a part of
American history.
As more and more organizations, government and public agencies,
universities, libraries, museums, cultural groups, non-profits,
individuals, etc. etc. are informing the public of their activity and
services to the Latino community, I am feeling less and less the need to
include in Somos Primos some of the topics and areas which I have been
attempting to cover since January 2000. Thankfully, we now have an
abundance of outstanding informative websites, particularly on issues of
current events, and, even better, they are set up to get the information
out quickly, plus all the social networking is promoting wonderful
genealogical connections.
Consequently, Somos Primos will be concentrating:
(1) more and more on sharing your personal stories and little known
history.
(2) on including information about an event after it takes place, with
photos and comments. Your personal stories and special events, whether a
festival, an honoring event, or a family reunion, then become >
digitized archived history.
You have life incidences that shaped you, amused you, taught you.
Please write them down and share them. What you valued in your life is
valuable. Your life mattered, share it for the benefit of all of us.
Sincerely, Mimi
