“A Charlie Brown Christmas” Vista Ridge High School

Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead, is celebrated primarily on November 1st and 2nd. These dates coincide with the Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day (November 1st) and All Souls’ Day (November 2nd). The celebration is most strongly associated with Mexico but is also observed in other Latin American countries and among Hispanic communities in the United States and elsewhere.

It is a time for families to come together to celebrate the lives of those who have passed away. Altars, or ofrendas, are typically set up with offerings that can include food, marigold flowers, candles, sugar skulls, photographs of the deceased, and other items with personal significance. These ofrendas are often displayed at homes, in cemeteries, and in public places.

While Día de los Muertos is a multi-day celebration, the specific customs and traditions can vary by region and community. In some places, celebrations begin on October 31st and extend through November 2nd. The holiday is a unique blend of indigenous beliefs and Catholicism, resulting in a colorful and vibrant celebration that focuses on honoring the memory of the deceased rather than mourning their loss.

“How to Escape the Woke Matrix”

“Wokeism” is a term that has been used to describe a cultural and political movement characterized by a heightened awareness of social and political issues related to race, gender, and various forms of discrimination and inequality. The term is often used in a pejorative or critical manner by those who view it as excessive or overly focused on identity politics.

The concept of being “woke” originally comes from African American Vernacular English and referred to being socially and politically aware, especially in the context of racial injustice and inequality. It has since evolved into a broader movement that advocates for social justice and equality across various marginalized groups, including racial, gender, sexual, and socioeconomic minorities.

Supporters of wokeism argue that it is important to address systemic discrimination and promote inclusivity and equity in society. Critics, on the other hand, may use the term “wokeism” to criticize what they see as an excessive or dogmatic approach to social justice issues, often accusing it of being overly politically correct or censorious of dissenting opinions. — (ChatGPT)

“Public art is form of street life, a means to articulate the implicit values of a city when its users occupy the place of determining what the city is.” — Malcolm Miles
