Dear Primos:
You will find in the April issue of Somos Primos eleven articles with
DNA information. I think you will conclude that those of us in the
Americas with Spanish heritage, connect with every racial and cultural
group in the world. Wonderful to observe that many Latinos have being
moved, inspired, and directed to search out family roots. We now have
physical proof through DNA of those some time surprising global
connections, however, evidence that we all . . . . really are connected.
Once we are convinced of our brotherhood, the next step is forgiveness
of historic injustices, and then work together to solve current
problems, instead of "cursing the past".
An example of a historic event whose purpose is increased understanding:
April 16, 1803, the Battle of the Bay of San Diego in California.
In 1803 California was under the governance of Spain. Spanish soldiers
were stationed at Fort Guijarros on Coronado North Island. Spain was
attempting to keep foreign ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean, from
landing on the California coast.
The Anniversary of the Battle of San Diego Bay, remembers a historic
event in which an English-speaking crew was attempting to engage in
smuggling. History is clarified, the Spanish presence acknowledged, and
historic adversaries joined together to present the past in unity.
Collaboration between the U.S. Navy and Spanish representatives from the
Casa de Espana is mounting the 213th event. [Included under California
in the issue.]
I am convinced that as more of the general public becomes aware of the
early Spanish presence in the building of the United States, more unity
will result.
God bless America, Mimi
