iFeliz Cinco de Mayo! Contrary to belief, this holiday is not a celebration of Mexico’s independence. Friday, May 5, 2023, will commemorate the 161st anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, Mexico. This clash became famous in history books because Texas-born General Ignacio Zaragoza led only 2,000 common folk men against 6,000 French forces and stood victorious in the end. Since then, Cinco de Mayo has become a day of celebration of Hispanic heritage with parades, festivals, and yummy food in Mexico and the U.S. Read more: https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/cinco-de-mayo
Speaking of Cinco de Mayo, did you know about a club at Post called Los Latinos? They do everything from experiencing Hispanic culture to having special guests like the Orange is the New Black star, Diane Guerrero. If you love learning new facts about other cultures or even having fun in general, join their meetings every other Thursday at 4pm EST by following these directions: Virtual Clubhouse -> “Explore Diversity and Social Issues” -> “Los Latinos Club” -> Join Meeting.
