July, 2021
Dear HOS Members,As it has been the tradition for the past 11-years, the HOS celebrate the Independence of the United Stated of America at the casita, and how Spain was vital in its Independence from the British. The Sons of the American Revolution will participate as usual and help us at the casita, during the Saturday and Sunday of July 3rd and 4th. Please joint us and learn more on how Spain, King Carlos III, Bernardo de Galvez, and many others made this possible. See flyer below.
I want to thank David Buenaventura for sending me the link below. In the article, there are two short, very interesting videos “Galvez Papers” and “Real Cedula” they are excellent! Please take the time to watch them. The Fourth of July will have another meaning for all of us.

Just across the border, this Mexican community also celebrates Juneteenth
The “Southern Underground Railroad” helped formerly enslaved people reach freedom in northern Mexico. One village here has observed Juneteenth or “Día de los Negros” for 150 years.
