Somos Primos, "We are Cousins" July 2019
http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2019/spjul19/spjul19.htm
Dear Family, Primos, and Friends:
Gathering articles to include in a patriotic July issue has moved me
with an even deeper awareness of the history of sacrifices made by our
ancestors, loved ones, and strangers, to acquire and achieve the
freedoms we enjoy here in the United States.
Sadly, the emphasis in our colleges and even high schools, seems to
focus on the ugly parts of United States history. We should be learning
from our past, instead of squashing, erasing, and demeaning it. We need
to apply an understanding of the social/economic times, looking at the
evolution of social and change. Emphasis on the ugly is resulting in
anti-American attitudes, which are harmful to unity.
There is no question that we have hang-over issues still in flux and in
need of repair. We also have many issues darkening the present: opioid
epidemic, obesity, homelessness, alcoholism, education, medical care,
etc. etc.).
BUT the criticism of OUR PAST does not match the lack of freedom and
injustices in many parts of the world RIGHT NOW. Well-known are
China’s Muslims citizens in concentration camps. Persecution and
murdering of Christians is happening all over the world, as are
culturally acceptable forms of slavery.
We have laws and a constitution, which need to be protected. I think we
should be grateful for the sacrifices that were made for us, and face
the facts of the "ugly parts" of our history, and dedicate ourselves to
solve together the new issues facing us right now. We can’t change the
past, but we can shape the future.
It is always a joy when individuals, or groups step in to solve local
problems, like a Nun who gathered diapers to distribute to poor women, a
high school student who helps other students figure out how to enroll in
college, the couple who started raising bees to improve the
neighborhood, a beach clean-up, or mothers who harvest vegetables to
give away, free after-school tutoring, etc.
If you are aware of any good works in your community by a
"Spanish-surnamed" individual(s), please send. I would love to share
it. It would be great to finish up 20 years of Somos Primos with lots
of stories about the wonderful contributions of our primos.
Have a great July 4th Celebration, and find reasons to be proud of being
an American..
Mimi
