Cinco De Mayo in 2021

Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day -- that's September 16th. 🇲🇽 Today we commemorate the Battle of Puebla where the Mexican Army was victorious over the French during the Franco-Mexican War. Here are some Dos and Don't for what to do & not to do on Cinco de Mayo: 1/3

Today is not a day to reduce Mexican culture to stereotypes or erase the actual history behind Cinco de Mayo. If educators recognize this day in the classroom, we hope they do so thoughtfully, responsively and accurately. https://t.co/IzDsu2FEBH

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Today commemorates the long-shot victory of the Mexican army over the French in the Battle of Puebla. It’s a celebration of Mexican and Mexican-American culture, and a reminder of our anti-colonialist roots. #CincodeMayo

Today on Cinco de Mayo, 'clueless' Joe Biden celebrated 4th of July eating a Thanksgiving turkey and opening his Christmas presents - all the while remaining out of touch with the Hispanic community. @Stinchfield1776. https://t.co/VlT7z8drtO https://t.co/lD82505rQG
