Bienvenidos otra vez a La Voz Newspaper. Donde comienso mi editorial este mex? Tengo muchas cosas que decir. Primero
quiero decir que me dar mucha tristeza tener que compartir la noticia de Leticia Garza-Falcon Fallecio ya despues de pelear la
cancer que le quito su vida. Ella fue un de las mujeres más interesantes que he conocido en mi vida. Si nuca has vista su libro
Gente Decente, pues check it out. You will not be disappointed. You can read her obituary on Page 4.
Cambiando de tema:
On Page 5 you will find comments on gun violence by my good friend Olga Muíñoz Rodriquez. Olga has been a community activist from Uvalde and San Antonio for more than 50 years. Her thoughts and views are respected throughout Southwest Texas. She is also the author of a book on Uvalde, Texas called Texas Town Legends: A Place in History.
Cambiando de Tema:
On Page 6,7, and 8 is an interview with Dr. Alicia Mercado-Castro. She is one this years 13 Women of Distinction that will be honored next week in Austin by the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce. She shares an
amazing story of growing up in Austin the 1940s and 50s and her career in education. See Page 9 for more information on this
event.
Cambiando de Tema:
On pages 10 and 11 we bring you the Uvalde murals of the tragedy of May 24 th , 2022. Those children will live on in the minds and
memory of many people for years to come. On Pages 14 and 15 you will find a first-person account of what happened inside the
Alamo back in 1836. It is taken from a 1902 newspaper account in the San Antonio Light. Someone sent it in and I thought it was a fabulous read.
On page 17 is the nomination form for the Austin Hispanic Hall of Fame. This project is an attempt to recognize and remember those individuals who have made an impact on the community over the years. Some have already passed on and some are still
with us today.Take a moment to nomination who you believe deserves to be in the Austin Hispanic Hall of Fame.
