    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…

    Analysis Of Dia De Los Muertos

    This year’s event we did the theme of Remembering Our Students/ Recordando Nuestros Estudiantes. In relation to the current movements regarding Black Lives Matter, police brutality, Ayotzinapa 43, school shootings, and indigenous women missing. I think this event is important to our campus, because SCSU is a diverse campus with very close minded individuals. So this brings the aspect of culture and tradition with the Dia de Los Muertos celebration and MEChA’s activist focus of political issues. These two combined can provide knowledge and awareness to those students who are unaware or misinformed. As well as taking on the problem of cultural appropriation with the recent American popularization of sugar skulls and Dia de…

    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…
