Hola Heritage: Arkansas is composed of many people of unique and diverse ethnicity, which are accompanied by rich cultural traditions which have included many people of color. This month we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month as I've notice a growing number of our Latino brothers and sister making their way into the GLBT construct. Hispanic Heritage Month is a period designated to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States. It was first observed in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson. Always remember that "none of us are free, until all of us are free..." Dont' forget to the Politics of Hello!
