Today is all about Puerto Rico: The 60th Annual Puerto Rico Day Parade tomorrow, as seen through the eyes of local Puerto Ricans Diane Alverio, founder and editor of Connecticut Latino News (link here: ctlatinonews.com), based in Hartford; and Lillian Torres, from Ponce and living in Holyoke.
Should Oscar López Rivera, formerly a member of a violent group that advocated for Puerto Rico’s independence, and who was pardoned by President Obama been selected as the parade’s grand marshal? In the end, he opted out, seeing that the honor was dividing the Puerto Rican community, as well as politicians and a slew of big businesses that pulled their sponsorhsip of the parade.
We are sung out by Juan Luis Guerra of the Dominican Republic with “El Costo de La Vida.”
