Our Mexican Grito isn't just an emotional cry that we do in present day.
On September 15, 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the bell of his church in Dolores, igniting the Mexican War of Independence with a passionate call for freedom.
This historic cry for justice not only set the course for Mexico’s independence in 1821 but also resonates today as a symbol of resilience and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
They never taught us this party of civil rights, that wasn't an accident.
Black and Mexican-American movements didn’t compete… they connected. If this surprised you, share it. Someone else needs to know.

Long before Spain touched these lands, death was sacred to the Mexica (Aztec) worldview.
Death was not an ending—its a transition, a force of balance.
The Mexica honored Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Underworld, guardian of the dead.
Death was governed, respected, even revered, not feared. Skulls, bones, and cycles of decay were symbols of fertility, rebirth, and cosmic order.
Calm, impartial, maternal, terrifying only to those who misunderstand her. #santamuerte #chicano #mexico #brownpride
Aztecs practiced a complex spiritual system rooted in astronomy, agriculture, balance, and reciprocity with the natural world.
Their beliefs honored forces like Tonatiuh, Tlaloc, Quetzalcóatl, and the cycles of life, death, and renewal. Religion was life.
Catholicism arrived through violence, coercion, and the dismantling of Indigenous knowledge systems.
The Virgin of Guadalupe created by Spain and the Roman Church, to turn the indigenous slaves to Catholicsm.
