A literary program, to present and promote the anthology HECHO EN TEJAS, is being planned for early May 2008. Several of us who are participating as contributing writers--and who are also coordinating this event--agree that we should also pay homage to raul then. (raul is included in the book, btw.) The event, which will happen at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas, will probably include an ofrenda for raul. Something to plan for--in case you live in the North Texas region and want to help commemorate raul by bringing something for the ofrenda.
Some of our comments:
Tammy:
We have to, have to make a moment to honor our elder--now antepasado--raulrsalinas at the Dallas event. please, let's figure out a way to do this. the Dallas audiences need to learn of raul, his legacy, and impact on us and
our work.
Diana Lopez--author and English teacher, based in San Antonio:
This is the first I've heard about Raul. He did a reading in SA last month and I had the honor of introducing him. His spirit and energy uplifted us all. I'm with you, Tammy. I'll miss his voice, too.
