We kick off our Ultimate Hispanic Heritage Month by interviewing one of the first Tejanos to serve in Congress-Sylvia Garcia. We also talk to Sri Kulkarni, candidate for the Texas Congressional District. TX.
What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to them? What are the issues facing our community that they will address?
Remember, every Houston City Council District is a Latino district. We are organizing an event in every City Council District. Get the full line up, view on Facebook, or participate remotely. Visit www.NuestraPalabra.org for the full line up. Email info@NuestraPalabra.org to get involved.
