THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: A GUEST BLOG ON THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS, RICARDO ROMO’S TEJANO REPORT ON LATINO ART SIGHTINGS, SERGIO HERNANDEZ ON CHRISTMAS IN THE PROJECTS AND ANGELA ROA PERFORMS WE FACE THE STORM.
This week we celebrate the Christmas holiday with a guest blog from Latinopia’s resident four-footed staffer who occasionally rises to blog when she gets worked up about things that annoy her. This week Xochitl La Pestaña (eyelash) comments on the current immigration situation. At a time when we should be celebrating the values expressed by the Christmas season instead we see thick-headed attacks on the most vulnerable immigrants who at Christmas time are only seeking a manger to spend a peaceful Christmas night. Check out Xochitl’s thought on this based on her own life experiences.
Also this week, we repost a Christmas cartoon by our dearly departed friend Sergio Hernandez. Ever the wit, Serg had a way of looking at things through ironic eyes. Take a look at Serg’s cartoon about fantasy meeting reality.
Ricardo Romo returns with his weekly Tejano Report. This week he looks at Latino Art sightings in and around the San Antonio area.
And we offer the music of Chilean born Angela Roa whose song Se Enfrenta La Tempestad, (We Face the Storm) reflects the daily struggle of so many immigrant communities.
At this Christmas time, let’s remember those that have the least and rededicate ourselves to making a better world in 2024 through our real thoughts and actions. Sí se puede!
Feliz Navidad!
