Cinco De Mayo Special!
from Historiography! · host Jim Stewart Allen
I learned a lot preparing for this one, I hope you guys do to, and send me ways you connected with Mexican culture! (that aren't racist, but do I even need to say that?) I talk about a Julio Cesar Chavez fight against Greg Haugen (who said Chavez had been fighting cab drivers who his Mom could beat) that resonated a lot in Mexican culture. Listen to the, "Mexico!" chants and cheer Julio on to victory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdtiqU_3EY8 Plot twist, Greg is from Seattle Washington and was born in Auburn! The quote I read at the end is written by Dr. Jose M. Alamillo from the book, "Celebrate Cinco De Mayo: With Fiestas, Music, and Dance." I hope everyone has a fantastic Cinco De Mayo, be responsible, and be not racist! EDIT: I say Battle of Pueblo the first time I talk about it, it is the Battle of Puebla. I try so hard not to screw these things up!!!!
