Tony Diaz, author and founder of Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say, will commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate the legacy of Nuestra Palabra at the Alley Theater with a free event.I'm not certain how I learned about Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say back in 1998, but I was among several dozen people who filled the quaint Chapultepec Lupita Mexican restaurant on Richmond for one of its early meetings.
The cover of Diaz's book shows him sitting on the steps of a pyramid at Teotihuacán, near Mexico City. The pyramid metaphor, he says, references history in which Spanish pirates descended on the land, burned books and enslaved people. It also references the greatness of the people who poured their souls into creating monuments such as the Teotihuacán pyramids, which I have climbed, too.
"Cultural accelerators are in our communities, and these are folks that have achieved self-determination," he says."They realize that communities are bound, and they work to bring solutions. They've studied the basics, which usually means they have degrees, but they stay in touch with the community and use those skills to change forms."
