Via the City of El Paso: “We are excited to announce that from September 29 to October 5, 2024, we will celebrate “El Paso Afro-Latinx Heritage Week”! Founded by the inspiring Dr. Jackeline Biddle Richard, this week is dedicated to raising awareness and educating our community about the rich Afro-Latinx experience in the United States.
As we honor the legacy of individuals like Nancy Lorenza Green and recognize the contributions of champions like Tomas Arellano, Angie Barraza, Maria Kennedy, Adenaji Jones-Tornes, Tanya Berry, and many others, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting a more inclusive and equitable El Paso.
Join us in celebrating the vibrant heritage, culture, and contributions of our Afro-Latinx community! Let’s come together to create connections and uplift voices that enrich our city.”
