Este Mes de la Herencia Hispana, la Mission Society invita a nuestra comunidad a celebrar y honrar las culturas, tradiciones y contribuciones de los Hispanos y Latinoamericanos. Este es un momento para dar la bienvenida a las historias que han formado generaciones y honrar la resiliencia, creatividad, y espíritu que son partes de las diversas culturas que conforman nuestra ciudad. La herencia hispana está tejida en la misma tela de nuestras comunidades y se refleja en el arte de Frida Kahlo y Pablo Picasso, los ritmos de la música salsa y merengue, los deliciosos sabores de la cocina latina, y los logros de individuos que traspasan fronteras.
Esperamos que nos acompañen en participar en algunos eventos y recursos próximos para celebrar el mes, y bienvenir a las comunidades vibrantes que han dejado una huella imborrable en nuestro mundo. ¡Viva la herencia hispana!
