Juan Andrade Jr.’s motheronly made it through the fifthgrade, but her son has so farmanaged to earn five de-grees, all at higher educa-tional levels, and becomepresident of the U.S. His-panic Leadership Institute.
Education is obviouslyimportant to him, and hethinks it should be just asimportant to everyone in theLatino community, a pointhe emphasized at the secondannual Gift of Hope HispanicScholarship dinner spon-sored by the University ofFindlay on Tuesday.
The dinner, held at Haci-enda restaurant, was aboutsupporting higher education.It awarded its first $500 schol-arship to UF sophomoreRicardo Sandoval, who ismajoring in hospitality man-agement and hopes to oneday own and manage a res-taurant.
Sandoval exemplifieswhat Andrade emphasizes inhis speeches. “We need to

recognize how fundamen-tally important education isto the empowerment of youngpeople,” said Andrade, whohas offered political com-mentary on television and ina variety of publications.
According to Andrade,Latinos who are educatedneed to use their skills to “cul-tivate the next generation” ofleaders that will “share thesame values that have madethis nation great,” such ascommitment to family.
Unfortunately, the gap be-tween the percentage ofLatino and white studentswho graduate from highschool has not shrunk much.Andrade said over the last 20years, that gap has closed onlyfour percentage points (now a22 percent difference).
However, the Latino com-munity in the United States iscontinuing to grow exponen-tially. There were about 9 mil-lion Latino minorities in thiscountry in 1970, and there arealmost 40 million who live
here today. Census expertsestimate that one in fourAmericans will have Latinoheritage by 2040, Andradenoted.
That number continues tohave wide-ranging effects onAmerican economics, cul-ture, politics and other areasof life, and creativity andimagination need to beimplemented in order to em-power future generations foreffective leadership andprogress, Andrade explained.
Andrade, who was raisedin San Antonio and who now
works in Chicago, is one ofonly two Latino recipientsof the presidential medal forthe performance of exem-plary deeds for the nation inleadership developmentand civic participation. Hesaid educated Hispanics“need to set the recordstraight” about how theylive and work in order toerase common stereotypesabout this population de-mographic.

The ceremony will be conducted by Sr. Miguel AntonioMeza, Mexican Consulate in Detroit. A movie depictingCésar E. Chávez and the UFW entitled The Fight in the Fieldswill be presented by Walter P. Reuther Library (Wayne StateUniversity). All Southwest Detroit students are also partici-pating in a poetry and art contest—winners will be acknowl-edged at this special event.
According to AnthonyVilla, “With the mural, weare striving to help Latinoseverywhere gain a sense ofpride, hope for the future,and empowerment. We be-lieve in ‘community,’ andthat working together willmake us stronger and helpus to advance at a fasterand more equal pace. Noone should be left out.”
The following youthfrom Fremont have beenworking on the project:Jesus Becerra, BrendaEsparza, Ceola Romero,Ricardo Vargas, AmandaReyna, Vinny Bocardo,Carlos Aguirre, PaulitaAriola, Erik Esparza, andMelissa Martínez.
The mural has been acollaborative effort, whichhas not only included Ms.Hernández, Mr. Villa, andthe youth, but has also in-cluded two Toledo artists,Carment Feliciana andAndres Orlowski.
This mural has beenshown in various venuesin Ohio including atAdelante’s César ChávezHumanitarian Award Ban-quet on March 25 and theUniversity of Findlay’sGift of Hope Awards lastTuesday.
The mural has changedsomewhat from its depic-tion on page one of LaPrensa, with additional art-work being added.

Andrade maintained, point-ing out that in the 2000presidential electionLatinos “were the only ra-cial group in America toshow an increase in voterturnout.” One million morevoted than in the 1996 elec-tion. “The general percep-tion is Latinos are poor,”said Andrade, and he ad-mitted that many are.
“One-third of us live be-low the poverty level. Butthe good news is two-thirdsof us do not. That two-thirdsneed to reach back to theone-third and help them outof the woods as well.
“Many of us are poor,but we’re not broke,”Andrade continued. “Wehave a strong work ethic,and the immigrants whocome to this country don’teven know what welfare is.They are raised with thebelief that if you want some-thing, you work for it.Nobody’s going to give youanything.”
Gift of Hope Awards(Continued from Page 1)
Andrade did note thatLatinos have made greatstrides in being recognizedby other groups over theyears, particularly in popculture. But he also empha-sized that parents, particu-larly migrant farm workerswho move their familiesfrom place to place, need tofind a community to growroots. Only then will theirchildren be able to benefitfrom an education that willhelp them succeed in thefuture.
Finally, Andrade said allethnic and minority groupsare still looking to see Dr.Martin Luther King’s dreambe realized—to have every-one “not judge a people bythe color of their skin, butby the content of their char-acter.”

With a guitar in hand andprojected photographs be-hind, Dr. Jesus “Chuy” Negrete,a leading interpreter of Mexi-can-American folk music, sangcorridos—the folk music ofhis native México—to illus-trate the history of Mexicanprogression into the UnitedStates from 1918 to the 1980s,as part of the 8th Annual His-panic Leadership Conferencein Elyria, hosted last Saturdayby the UAW Hispanic Coun-cil.
With corridos, beginningwith the Mexican Revolution[1910-1921], he told of revo-lutionary fighters, such asEmiliano Zapata and PanchoVilla, and the subsequent masswork-migration to the UnitedStates.
“We were American beforethe name America existed,” Dr.Negrete told the three-hun-dred-plus attendees, but “wewere never treated as such bythe European invaders.”
Dr. Negrete sang in one ofhis corridos about the heart-breaks that Mexican womenexperienced and the way theyadapted to the responsibilityof becoming dependent onthemselves when their menwent north to find work in theUnited States in the 1920s.
“They came by the thou-sands to places like Dallas andFort Worth to pick cotton andto Toledo and Lorain to workin the fields and factories,” hesaid. “White people didn’t liketo do it; black people didn’teither, and Mexicans felt thesame way, but Mexicans tookthe jobs that nobody elsewanted,” said Dr. Negrete.
One of the characters in hiscorridos exclaimed, “I can’twait until these white peopleinvent polyester.”
Discouraged by low wagesin México, during the 1930sand 1940s, many Mexicanstraveled as far north as Illinois,Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsyl-

vania to work in the steel mills.Many also worked in the auto-mobile factories in Detroit,where famous Mexican painterDiego Rivera painted his re-nowned murals.
“We made about $1 forwork,…not $1 an hour, but $1a day,” sang Dr. Negrete.
In the 1940s, while theUnited States was engaged inWorld War II, many Latinosjoined the war effort by fight-ing in the military or coming tothe United States as braceros.
According to Dr. Negrete,Mexican people of the era cel-ebrated their heritage withlarge festivals and were knownfor having large families. Inone of his corridos, Dr. Negretesang of the Mexican’s reliabil-ity on welfare.
“The lady at the welfare officewould say ‘oh no, it’s another oneof those Mexicans with thoselarge families,’” he sang. Later,the Mexican character would re-spond, “Well, at least, we canhave so many babies.”
School children of the timeslived through segregation,much like the African-Ameri-cans. Dr. Negrete told of howthe children’s names were“Americanized”—Facundo,”for example, was changed to“Joe”—and how the historytaught to them in school wasnot truly “their history.”
“Once, on Sept. 16, an U.S.history teacher told me GeorgeWashington was my father, butI didn’t believe her,” he said.“If he’s my father, then whyisn’t he Chicano?”
Dr. Negrete praised the la-bor organizing efforts of AlfredDavila, César Chávez, andBaldemar Velasquez. “AlfredDavila helped Latinos to be-come more involved in theAFL-CIO labor unions,” hesaid, “and Velasquez fromToledo, Ohio helped the mi-grant farmworkers with his now7,000-strong union.”
“Don’t listen to those
Many believe that the fes-tivities of Cinco de Mayo,held each May 5th, are incelebration of the indepen-dence of México. Not true.September 16th is the day ofindependence from Spain.May 5th celebrates anotherbattle.
And few know the realconnection between thebattle of that day and thepreservation of the UnitedStates.
In May, 1862, U.S. Presi-dent Abe Lincoln had muchto worry about—the U.S. wason the verge of self-destruc-tion in a vociferous and vi-cious civil war. Lincoln hadthe industrial resources ofthe northern states at his dis-posal, but the Confederateforces of the South were fiercefighters in their quest for se-cession. The opposingarmies were slaughteringeach other by the tens ofthousands, making it thebloodiest of all U.S. wars.
If someone from the out-side world had allied withthe South that might havebeen just enough to tip thebalance and divide the coun-try forever. Worse, such anally was making its waythrough México—it was thearmy of Napoleon.
The French army of Em-peror III, nephew of Napo-leon Bonaparte, was thoughtto be the premier army in the
¡Cinco de Mayo, the realenchilada!
world. It had not suffered de-feat in 50 years and had en-joyed recent victories in Eu-rope and Asia.
But what were they doingin the Americas? The Frenchhad landed at the port of VeraCruz along with troops fromQueen Isabella II of Spain andQueen Victoria of the BritishEmpire. They claimed to bethere to collect payments onthe foreign debt owed to themby México. Mexican Presi-dent Benito Juarez suspendedpayments of these debts dueto the insolvency of México.
President Juarez promisedto restart the debt payments intwo years, but France, Spain,and Great Britain wanted theirmoney now and took over thecustomhouse at Vera Cruz toget the customs paymentsapplied to their debts.
Eventually, Spain andGreat Britain entered an agree-ment with Juarez and wenthome, but France stayed. Infact, Napoleon landed 4,500troops and set off for MéxicoCity.
At the time, the North wastoo occupied with the Con-federates to do anything aboutthis invasion, but Lincoln wasconcerned about the possiblescenario of Napoleon’s armyconquering México, install-ing its own emperor,Maximilian of Hapsburg, andthen proceeding to the UnitedStates to help the Confeder-
ates in their civil war againstthe North.
On May 5th, 1862, as theFrench approached MéxicoCity, they encountered thevillage of Puebla, which hada much smaller force of 2,000troops and numerous Pueblacitizens who brought theirfarm tools as weapons. YoungBrigadier General PorfirioDíaz, who later became thepresident that was over-thrown in the Mexican Revo-lution during the seconddecade of the Twentieth Cen-tury, took his cavalry out toengage the French horsemen.
The bulk of the invadingforce attacked across a fieldmade muddy by a recentstorm and were met by hun-dreds of stampeding cattle,which were stirred up by In-dians armed with only theirmachetes.
When it was over twohours later, the French with-drew and La Batalla dePuebla—the Battle ofPuebla—became the battlecry of all Mexicans.
bosses; don’t listen to theirlies; we don’t have a chanceunless we organize,” Davilatold Mexicans. “Black, red,brown, white—all peoplemust unite,” he sang.
Dr. Negrete’s mission is toeducate people about Mexi-can-American culture sopeople can evolve and learnfrom their mistakes.
“You have to strengthenhistorical identity to makehistory instead of repeatingit,” he said. “We, therefore,must honor our historians. Folkmusic helped in this historicalstruggle.”
Dr. Negrete is the founderof the Mexican Cultural Insti-tute in Chicago, which is dedi-cated to the study of Mexican-American musicology.
“Musicology is the searchfor a research of how musicimpacts society and how soci-ety impacts music,” Negretesaid. He has performed andlectured nationally and inter-nationally for more than aquarter century.
Negrete was one of two per-formers chosen to represent theUnited States at the Interna-tional Festival of Youth in Cubaand is the subject of ChuyNegrete: Repertoire of aFolksinger, produced by KTEXin El Paso. He earned a master’sdegree from Chicago StateUniversity and his undergradu-ate degree from the Universityof Illinois at Chicago, both inbilingual education.
Negrete was followed bykeynote speaker EstevanRodríguez, who spoke of howone should view the Americasfrom a “North—South” per-spective instead of an “East—West” one.
“From this viewpoint, youwill see that over 80% oftoday’s Americas are Latinosdespite the European inva-
sion of the 1500s, which wipedout over 90% of the indig-enous populations and theirhistory by germs and guns.”
Rodríguez then traced thehistory of Latinos over thepast three centuries, conclud-ing that today Latinos should
respect the right of otherLatinos to dissent or disagree.
According to Rodríguez,“Beware of unity!”
Following both keynoteaddresses, morning and after-noon workshops were con-ducted, followed by an
evening of entertainment.According to conference
coordinator Dina Ferrer, ofLorain County CommunityCollege, “This was a memo-rial event. We wish to thankall of our speakers, partici-pants, and sponsors.”

WASHINGTON (AP): AMexican American civilrights group says it will re-new its fight for more major-ity Latino districts in thestate if Texas Republicansreopen congressional redis-tricting.
Nina Perales, an attor-ney for the Mexican Ameri-can Legal Defense and Edu-cational Fund, says thestate’s Latino population islarge enough to supportnine majority Latino con-gressional districts state-wide. Currently, there areseven—five in South Texas,one in El Paso, and one inHouston.
Perales said MALDEFhas not taken a position onwhether the Legislatureshould redraw the court-or-dered congressional dis-tricts for Texas’ 32-memberHouse delegation.
But if the state Housetries to pass a redistrictingbill, as U.S. House MajorityLeader Tom DeLay wants,MALDEF won’t be a by-stander. DeLay was at theCapitol Thursday meetingwith House members.
Attorney General GregAbbott issued an opinionTuesday saying the Legis-lature can take up redistrict-ing but can’t be compelledto do so.
“If redistricting is goingto come up again, we aregoing to participate in theprocess and we are going toseek fair representation forLatinos,” Perales said.
Meanwhile, in Austin,Texas, leaders of the Legis-lative Black Caucus and theMexican American Legis-
lative Caucus, called on thestate House to drop any plansto take up redistricting.
“Hispanic and AfricanAmerican leaders understandthat Tom DeLay is not push-ing to change congressionaldistrict lines for our benefit,”said Rep. Richard Raymond,D-Laredo. “General Abbott’sopinion should mean congres-sional redistricting is dead.The House has more impor-tant things to do.”
Separately, Rep. JoeCrabb, chairman of the stateHouse redistricting commit-tee, said the committee would“most probably” address re-districting, if time permits.
“We will try to address theissue. We may or may not re-draw the lines,” said Crabb, R-Atascocita.
A proposed map made pub-lic last week and attributed toDeLay, R-Sugar Land, doesnot add a new district forLatinos, Perales said.
Perales said a majority His-panic district could be fash-ioned in the Dallas area. Itcould be done by swappingblack communities repre-sented by Rep. Martin Frost,D-Arlington, and Latino com-munities in the district heldby Rep. Eddie BerniceJohnson, D-Dallas. She alsosaid a Hispanic district couldbe added in South Texas.
Texas gained two moreHouse seats in 2000 becauseof its 1990s population boom.Both those seats went to Re-publicans, but 60 percent ofthe state’s growth came fromHispanic population growth.Texas’ Hispanics went from4.4 million in 1990 to 6.7million in 2000.
The Legislature failedreach a consensus in its 2001session on how to carve upTexas’ congressional districts.
That led to a court-orderedplan, which Republicans dis-like because Democrats hold17 seats to Republicans 15.Republicans say they shouldhave 20 seats.
MALDEF tried to increaseHispanic districts when thecase went to trial in 2001. Theorganization represented theLeague of United LatinAmerican Citizens in Texasand the GI Forum, a Hispanicadvocacy group. But its planwas opposed by Texas Demo-crats and Latinos in Congress.
The opponents arguedthat MALDEF’s plan dilutedLatino voting strength andwould lead some incumbentHispanic House members tolose their seats to non-Latinos.They said while Latinso maybe the majority in some dis-tricts, they have lower voterturnout and registration num-bers.
In a Feb. 19 letter toMALDEF, two state Latinolawmakers argued against re-opening redistricting to get anew Hispanic seat, saying itwould not be good for Latinosand would break up commu-nities and threaten “effectiverepresentation provided bycurrent Texas congressmen.”
“Should Tom DeLay andRepublican partisans win, ourcommunity would lose,” saidthe letter signed by Sen.Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Aus-tin, and Sen. Leticia Van DePutte, D-San Antonio.Barrientos chairs the SenateDemocratic Caucus and VanDe Putte chairs the SenateHispanic Caucus.
To reopen redistricting, 21senators must agree to bring abill to the floor, and severalRepublicans have indicated anunwillingness to tackle the is-sue. The state Senate has 19Republicans and 12 Democrats.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Stick with those who have loved and supported you
through thick and thin. There is someone in the immediatevicinity who is jealous of your friends and family and will tryto drive a wedge in between you and those you love. You needto make a choice.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)A slow start this week will make it a week of catching up.
Your heart is probably not in your work and it will show.There seems to be some contradictions about commitment toa romantic relationship. There are important factors to beweighed before making decisions.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)There is a sense that you are walking on quicksand during
the week, and there is little you can do about it. Make anynecessary sacrifices of time and energy to correct this uncer-tain situation. You and your significant other make a connec-tion and become even closer.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Don’t be caught up in your own ideas and point of view
that you cease to hear what those around you are saying. Letgo of the need to always be right. You may be frustrated atwhat seems to be your lack of progress, but take the time torealize just how far you’ve come.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)You will get ahead by working hard during the week.
Nothing less than your reputation is at stake, but not to worry,because your work is above reproach. Shortly you will beriding high on the waves of success, enjoy it for you deserveevery bit given to you.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)A financial windfall is quite possible this week. Prosperity
is definitely a main issue for the next couple of months, soinstead of whining, it’s time to take action. A surge ofinspiration will enable you to do whatever needs doing, andbe innovative with solutions.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Use whatever clout you have to get some creative changes
off the ground. Friends can really come in handy during timeslike this. Someone may want to flirt and tell you pretty lies,but don’t be taken in, just enjoy the entertainment. Payattention to your spiritual side.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)Keeping your nose to the grindstone is quite commend-
able this week, to a point. Your superiors may be moreimpressed is your approach is more balanced. Learn todelegate if management is one of your goals. Both courageand integrity will do well for you.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)Your hard work may have just finally brought about
completion and success. Enjoy the admiration of thosearound you—you definitely deserve it. Spend wisely on anyspree you find yourself on. Don’t keep your stress to yourself;such pent up emotions will make you ill.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)A little self-contemplation will get your week off and
running on a positive note. You may be pleased with yourwork up until now, but want to improve in various areas.Allow a troublesome problem, which has been hanging overyour head for some time; take care of itself.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)There is a fine line between having a good time and
overdoing it, and your body is likely to be the best judge ofthat this week, just make sure to listen. If your currentrelationship is a bit unbalanced, playing the roles to faith-fully may cause resentment.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)Money matters may not be as fruitful as you had expected
this week, after all the effort you put into these financial gains,try not to let it get to you. Maybe it’s time to make changesinstead of being weighed down with so much responsibility.Think things out carefully.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The thought ofbeing free has always been important to you, and you mayinvariably dream of escaping to another location. You canalso travel in your mind by reading books or renting videos.Unusual people you meet now may turn out to be inspiring.

Westgate Shopping Center,and the Franklin Park Mall.
While the two candidatesespouse differing politicalphilosophies – Moran de-scribes herself as a bit moreconservative – the same mes-sage about the need to beresponsive to their constitu-ents emanates from bothcamps.
Neighborhood well-beingand the creation of jobs topthe agendas of both women.
Grachek earned her under-graduate in political sciencefrom the University of Toledoin 1999. She obtained her lawdegree from UT as well. Moranis a graduate of Hillsdale Col-lege and also earned her lawdegree from UT.
