As I was recently reminded by Middle Tennessee Hispanic Democrats Secretary Freddy Quiteño, Hispanic Heritage Month is not just about parties, but about Hispanic heritage itself. Touché.
The idea of HispanicNashville.com is to capture Nashville's unique Hispanic heritage day by day, and looking back on that heritage (in the form of this site's archives), what strikes me is that the first month of news published on HispanicNashville.com - October 2003 - already revealed quite a tapestry of local stories.
Those seven-year-old headlines remind me that Nashville's Hispanic heritage is formed by many stories, all written locally. You don't have to go back hundreds of years or cross international boundaries to celebrate our city's Hispanic heritage.
And you don't have to think of heritage as a faceless history, either. As this ad put it last December, "Every Hispanic face in Nashville tells an amazing story: ours."
Explore all seven years of the HispanicNashville.com story archives on the right-hand side of this page, under "Blog Archive." The specific headlines mentioned above, from October 2003, are below:
