"Celebra la Vida"
Photo by Christy Martinez-Garcia On this month’s cover is a photo of a sunflower from my garden. This is the season of harvest and change. A sunflower risen up through the long heat of summer emerges strong and brilliant in the summer’s last days. Patience groomed it and its humble acceptance of the last place in summer’s many miracles will not go unnoticed. It realizes what has called it into being and it turns toward it in praise and thanksgiving. I want to share this golden flower as we change into the next season. May it serve as a reminder that change can be beautiful, and inevitable. May God bless you as we prepare for the next blessings He has planned for each of us - may you celebrate each moment of life.

Qu o t e
“Instead of being treated like intruders, or new arrivals, in some of the more emotional debates over immigrations and over assimilation, I think more people would recognize that Latinos have always been part of the history of the United States from its very earliest days. It might change the way we think about our country and we think about these 53 million people, if this history was taught differently.” Janet Murgia, NCRL President
