PENSAMIENTOS with ALFREDO SANTOS 5.20.18

May 20, 2018 by Tia Tenopia

Bienvenidos otra vez a La Voz Newspaper! Tengo mucho que platicarte, pero no se si voy a tener suficiente espacio en
este página. Pero hay les voy! Quiero empezar llamando a su atención la carrera del Distrito 46 en el Texas House of
Representatives. En la primaria, nadie ganó lo 50% del voto para salir como el nominado del partido Democrata.
Asi es que tuvo haber lo que se llama un run-off election. Esto se va llevará a cabo el 22 de Mayo con Sheryl Cole y
Jose “Chito” Vela. Una de las preocupaciones en este elección es de que si Chito gana, entonces no va haber
ningun representante de la raza negra en la legislature del condado de Travis.

En un debate hace poco, esta cuestion que se puso en la mesa y la cual lo contesto Chito, deciendo, que el tenia todo el
derecho de ser candidato en este distrito aunque era Chicano. Unos han estado deciendo que no es justo que la raza negra no tendra
representación si Chito gana la elección. Chito ha dicho, si gana la elección, el espera ser la voz para toda la gente, no
importa su raza.

En la páginas 4 y 5 vas a ver varios individuos con un breve historia de su más recientes logros. En reality these two pages are an extension of our People

In the News section. We just had a lot of folks to highlight this time around. On page 7 you find a story about a young man who just won the Mayor’s race in Del Rio, Texas. Bruno Lozano not only won the mayor’s race, he also beat the establishment. Expect to hear from him in the future.

Los Tigres del Norte performed at Folsom State Prison in California. This is note worthy because 50 years ago, it was Johnny Cash who
did the same thing. What was different this time around? Aside from playing in Spanish, the audience, i.e. the prison population, was made up of a
lot more people of color. See page 8 for the rest of the story. On page 11 we have a story follow up story on the push to get a Mexican American
Studies course passed by the Texas State Board of Education. In April the board members finally took a vote on the question and voted
favorably, but, at the last minute, and much to the chagrin of the activists that were supporting the effort, the board changed the name of the course
from Mexican American Studies to Ethnic Studies: An Overview of Americans of Mexican Descent.

Well. This watering down of the title didn’t set well with many and there is now a move to get the original name back.
A ver que pasa.
