This Week @ City - October 7
Good Monday Morning,
This week we continue to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the history and culture of the U.S. Latino and Hispanic Communities from September 15 through October 15. Last week we hosted the inaugural LGBTQ+N Festival, the first literary festival dedicated to bringing together Spanish and Latin American writers who explore and celebrate sexual diversity in their works. Thank you to everyone who assisted in bringing this dynamic festival to life. View media coverage at https://muckrack.com/broadcast/savedclips/view/iHKnymjj60.
