Consequently, Allende, and his family as other creoles declared Mexico independent until the time of Ferdinand could be restored to the throne. Allende participates in meetings of conspirators in where he soon after met Hidalgo, and promoted the organization of several insurgent centers. The one of greater importance was the one in Queretaro, which was headed by Allende and Aldama. Furthermore in the arrest of Dominguez was forced the uprising against the dominion Spanish, initiating the independence movement in September 16, 1810. Allende was so into the independence war that he made sure to bring the message on the walls, “Independence! You cowardly creoles!” Allende advocated a social change; in where everyone agreed on one point “to get rid of the Spaniards!”, so Allende championed the rights of Indians and of the poor. While being with Hidalgo, they both encounter some differences that were highlighted when the armed struggle for independence began in 1810 with Dolores…
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. During the French-Mexican War, a poorly supplied and outnumbered Mexican army, under General Zaragoza defeats a French army trying to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, which is a small town in east-central Mexico. On the fifth of May, 1862, Lorencez drew his army, well trained and loaded with heavy guns, to the city of Puebla and began their assault from the north.

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…
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 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.…

The movie “A Day Without a Mexican” is a comic movie that shows how California would be without the help of Latinos workers. When a mysterious pink fog surrounds the boundaries of California, there is a communication breakdown and all the Latinos disappear. The film represents in a sort of comic way the concerns about immigration in California. It clearly highlights the idea from how Americans are dependent on Latinos. The main point of the film is what would happen if Latinos immigrants who are in here just disappear. It affects the economy and the state stops working missing the Mexican workers.…

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who perished while serving in the military, a day to honor the soldiers who died while defending America. Our three day weekend in May is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family. To most of us, Memorial weekend it means no school/work and an extra day off. Memorial Day is so much more than a day off to have fun. Most students do not really even understand why they get school off; a lot of adult use this time for cookouts or parties. Memorial Day is a day where we, as Americans, should honor our fallen soldiers.…
