Dear Primos and Friends:

The March 2015 issue of Somos Primos is filled with the latest heritage
projects, events, and celebrations, but also archived articles , tidbits
and essays 10, 20, and even 30 plus years old.
Since the mid 1980s when I started editing a print quarterly of Somos
Primos, I have been saving
historical items that enlarged my understanding or gave me a new
perspective.  My files are full.
and I plan to continue sharing.

I think many of us are beginning to realize that only upon reflecting on
our past, within the framework of society of that time, can we fully
grasp what we experienced and why.

A documentary by Hector Galan about the 1955 movie, `Giant' will be on
PBS stations in April, and will help to clarify the prejudice  Mexican
Americans were experiencing.  We all can remember incidents, but cannot
be buried under them.  We must use our increased historical
understanding to be enlighten and uplifted.

I continue to receive fascinating articles of personal histories,
reflecting time periods and locations.  Refugio Salinas Fernandez wrote
about the Globo Theater in Corpus Christi, Tx.   His father owned and
ran the theater, and he as a youth, worked it.  (In high school student,
I was an usherette in the single theater in Manteca, CA)  Samuel Saenz,
Jr. writes about the importance of the trains in the Mexican community
of Alice, Tx.  (Trains and Union Station in Los Angeles were a big part
of life in Los Angeles)  Galal Kernahan writes about arranging to bring
Cook Island dancers to perform in Garden Grove in 1983.  (I live in the
city right next to Garden Grove.) Though different from my life, I find
I can always relate in some way to the life stories I receive.

Hopefully as you read through this issue, you will be touched and moved
to write your own stories and memories.  A good example of writing and
compiling life stories is that of a dear  friend, Viola Rodriguez Sadler
.  Her blog is at: http://memoriasymemories.blogspot.com. Do check it
out.  Her stories are darling and abundant.

If you don't feel you have enough stories to mount a blog,  send them to
Somos Primos and share yourself that way.  Your story and life is
unique.  You are the only one that lived it.

God bless, Mimi
