Beyond Color and Culture

On the fourth day of the LULAC Convention, we were honored to have the Reverend Jesse Jackson talk about unity between Latinos and African Americans. He had visited Little Rock Central and came back to the convention seeing a big crowd of Latinos chanting “si se puede, si se puede” which means “yes we can, yes we can”. He touched on subjects of education, medical health care, and issues that affect the African American and Latino communities in the United States. The Reverend stated that we as a country must start to “look beyond color, culture, and focus on character”. The speakers have been impressive and on Friday we will have a town hall with Howard Dean, Chairman of the National Democratic Party and Ken Mehlman Chairman of the Republican National Party. Everyone from Tyson is learning, promoting the Tyson brand, and having a good time with Mexico’s famous Mariachi Vargas.
