How cool is this?!! Yay Afro Latinas! Yay Celia!

Celia Cruz makes history as the first Afro-Latina on US Currency 🇨🇺

You heard that right! The Queen of Salsa has been selected by the United States Mint to be one of the five honorees in the 2024 American Women Quarters Program.

Cruz, along with Patsy Takemoto Mink, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, Pauli Murray and Zitkala-Sa, are being commemorated as trailblazers that “pioneered change during their lifetimes, not yielding to the status quo imparted during their lives.”

¡Azúcar!

Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day! Goodbye Columbus Day!

GOOD NEWS!

"For only the second time, a U.S. president has officially recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day.

President Biden issued a proclamation on Friday to observe this Oct. 10 as a day to honor Native Americans, their resilience and their contributions to American society throughout history, even as they faced assimilation, discrimination and genocide spanning generations. The move shifts focus from Columbus Day, the federal holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus, which shares the same date as Indigenous Peoples' Day this year".

How Cool!

Speaking a second or even a third language can bring obvious advantages, but occasionally the words, grammar and even accents can get mixed up.
