Hispanic Heritage Month Case Study
• I believe one good idea for Hispanic Heritage Month would be to expand and seek co- sponsorship from different organizations on campus to alleviate the costs that come along with events and receive different perspectives of how an events should be ran. Also, a greater number of organizations would mean a larger audience and more volunteers and participants to aid with development of an event. Since I’m applying for the Assistant Pageant Director, high quality photos should be taken at the event by asking other students if they have a professional camera, I own one of these type of cameras, and also setting up a photo booth area with a wide range of props. Also, having a hashtag for the event such as #HHMPageant or #MrHSA&MsHSA to increase

    Cinco de Mayo (also known as the Anniversary of the battle of Puebla) means the fifth of May. This is a very important holiday and is celebrated all throughout Mexico and in the U.S. This holiday is celebrated on the 5th of May in 1862 because the Mexican military victory over French forces of Napoleon III.

    Cinco De Mayo Independence Day

    Is Cinco de Mayo really the Mexican Independence Day? While most people mistake Cinco de Mayo for the day that Mexico gained their independence, Cinco de Mayo- the fifth of May- is actually celebrated because on that day the Mexican army claimed a victory over the French army in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Mexico actually gained their independence on September 16, 1810, 50 years before the Battle of Puebla occurred. The Franco-Mexican War began in late 1861; which was an invasion of Mexico by the Second French Empire. In 1861, Benito Juárez became president of Mexico. The country was in financial trouble and he was forced to put his debts on Spain, France, and Britain’s governments. Because of this, the countries sent naval forces to demand a reimbursement. Both Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico, but France decided to take…

    The Importance Of Columbus Day: Dia De La Raza

    Why when most people think of Columbus Day, they think of Christopher Columbus and nothing about the other races involved with the New World. In my opinion, Columbus Day should be changed to Dia De La Raza. Dia De La Raza means the day of the races and makes more sense for the replacement of Columbus Day because it celebrates all of the races involved with the New World. Three reasons Columbus Day should be called Dia De La Raza is because this day recognizes all the races that came to the New World, recognizes the natives of the New World and recognizes the African slaves that built the New World.…

    Cinco de Mayo

    Cinco de Mayo is a widely celebrated holiday that some don’t understand. This holiday is translated as “the Fifth of May”, which is celebrated for the Battle of Puebla. This battle, against the French, took place on May 5, 1862. The French sent a huge (undefeated) army of 8,000 to invade Mexico because they hadn’t paid back their war debts. The French army had been well trained and better equipped than the Mexicans. As the French came to Puebla, the 4,000 Mexicans refused to back down which led to the victory. This victory although was short lived, but this victory showed that they were strong and powerful. This unlikely victory against overwhelming odds is remembered every May fifth. Cinco de Mayo represented a great symbolic victory for the Mexican government and bolstered the resistance movement. This holiday is often confused with Mexico’s Independence Day, which is on September 16.…

    Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a celebration of life rather then death throughout the Hispanic community. On November first and second, All Saints day and All Souls day, Hispanics gather to celebrate in their own customs and intrigues according to their specific cultural region.

Many times these festivities are held at the grave site of their loved ones and also throughout the streets. Decorations range from skeletons, toys, elaborate costumes, paper cutouts, elaborate wreaths and crosses, flowers (commonly Marigolds), and candles. Many of these decorations are used to make altars in honor of the deceased. These…

    In the Hispanic culture, one of the most common and well-known traditions is a Quinceañera. Going to another cultural event that is different from my own is very educational yet a rewarding experience. Some of the distinct elements that really put the event together are the experience of the event, the different phrases in that culture, verbal communication and cultural distinctiveness of the culture, and was able to understand how the Hispanic culture is different from traditional American culture.…

    Informative Speech: The Puerto Rican Day Parade

    Imagine waking up to the sound of Spanish music blasting through the streets, the smell of Spanish food simmering in the air, and going to the window and seeing thousands of Puerto Rican flags covering the streets. This describes Manhattan during the second week in June. Growing up just a few blocks from Spanish Harlem, many of my friends was Spanish. Their families took me in as one of their own, and that lead to me sharing some of their customs, and traditions such as The Puerto Rican Day Parade.
