Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro; MEPs Hermann Tertsch and Leopoldo López Gil, the United States Congressman, Mario Diaz-Balart; the former congressman, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, the Colombian Senator, Paola Holguín; the activist, Rosa María Payá and several young activists and religious leaders of the Island and Latin America are among the 100 faces of the campaign.

HAVANA, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro; MEPs Hermann Tertsch and Leopoldo López Gil, the United States Congressman, Mario Diaz-Balart; the former congressman, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, the Colombian Senator, Paola Holguín; the activist, Rosa María Payá and several young activists and religious leaders of the Island and Latin America are among the 100 faces of the campaign.

 

WHAT:

Through the 100 days 100 voices campaign, the promoters of Cuba Decide around the world denounce the arbitrary imprisonment of José Daniel Ferrer by publishing 100 photographs of citizens who, in Cuba and around the world, demand the liberation of the Cuban opposition leader after 100 days of unjust imprisonment.

 

In this context, the platform today renews its call to all people of good will in the world to join the call for the immediate release of Jose Daniel Ferrer and the other 3 activists detained with him. The platform further requests that representatives in the national parliaments of each country show their solidarity by approving resolutions demanding their immediate release.

WHO:

Activists, artists, senators, MEPs, youth from several countries of the Americas, and citizens in general have joined the 100 days 100 voices campaign. All people, from anywhere in the world can show solidarity by publishing their photo on social networks using the #FreeFerrer tag.

 

José Daniel Ferrer is the national coordinator of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) and one of the main promoters of the Cuba Decide citizen initiative on the Island.

 

On October 1, 2019, state security and police officers from the Cuban regime assaulted and raided Ferrer’s home. In the act, he was violently detained along with three other activists: José Pupo Chaveco, Fernando González VaiIlant and Roilán Zárraga Ferrer. The four have been subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment and remain in prison with the threat of prosecution for fabricated crimes.

“¡Pleibol!” Slides Into Smithsonian Fall 2020

0

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Before he was a World Series champion, Anthony Rendon, the former Washington Nationals third baseman and current Los Angeles Angel, was an ordinary kid; signed up for youth baseball at the YMCA in Houston. His childhood jersey and “first” baseball card will be on view in the upcoming Smithsonian exhibition, “¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues/En los barrios y las grandes ligas” at the National Museum of American History beginning Oct. 9, 2020.  

Rendon’s story, like that of many baseball-loving families in Latino communities, shows passion and dedication to the game. The bilingual exhibition will capture the excitement of the sport and will highlight how Latinas/os have transformed American culture and society through the lens of baseball, the national pastime.

The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) will be traveling a version of  “¡Pleibol!” to 15 cities through 2025. In Washington, D.C., the exhibition opens in the museum’s Albert M. Small Documents Gallery and will feature more than 60 artifacts and objects such as baseball cards, programs and scrapbooks.

Throughout the 20th century in the United States and Latin America, baseball provided Latino communities a path for a better future. Workers in agriculture and industry in the United States used baseball as a means to make ends meet and as a socially acceptable space to find community and organize for rights and justice.

“‘¡Pleibol!’ presents major league stories, but it is first and foremost rooted in communities and the reality of who was allowed to play ball and where,” said Margaret Salazar-Porzio, curator in the museum’s Division of Cultural and Community Life. “The story we tell shows how Latino communities played, celebrated and changed the game.”

In 2018, Latino players accounted for almost 30% of the 877 major league roster spots, and Latinos play a role as scouts, managers and even owners of Major League Baseball teams. “¡Pleibol!” focuses on how Latino/a trailblazers changed the game nationally in the major leagues and locally in their communities. Artifacts on view at the museum will range from Roberto Clemente’s batting helmet (which has been in the Smithsonian collections since 1981) to Pedro Martinez’s game-worn New York Mets jersey and Colorado Rockies team co-owner Linda Alvarado’s team jacket, as well as unique pieces such as baseball Hall of Famer Marge Villa’s girlhood uniform from before she became one of the few Latinas to play in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. These artifacts will be displayed alongside artwork, scrapbooks, handmade baseball equipment and community-league jerseys that demonstrate the importance of baseball in the everyday life of Latino families. Many of these artifacts are new to the museum’s collections and have never been on display.  

The traveling exhibition will allow host organizations to highlight local stories through the inclusion of objects from their collections.

“¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues/En los barrios y las grandes ligas” is made possible through close collaborations with more than 30 partners in 14 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico to help bring visibility to Latino community histories through baseball. In a series of collecting and preservation events over four years (2015–2018), Smithsonian curators traveled the country and collaborated with local partners to document and preserve baseball stories at the heart of Latino communities.

Among the partners are John M. Pfau Library at California State University, San Bernardino, California; Institute of Texan Cultures at the University of Texas, San Antonio, Texas; Kansas City Museum; La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, Los Angeles; Syracuse University, La Casita Cultural Center, Syracuse, New York, and many others.

The exhibition is organized by the National Museum of American History in collaboration with SITES. It received support from the Cordoba Corp. and federal support from the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center.

SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington, D.C., for more than 65 years. For tour information and schedules, visit sites.si.edu.

Through incomparable collections, rigorous research and dynamic public outreach, the National Museum of American History explores the infinite richness and complexity of American history. It helps people understand the past in order to make sense of the present and shape a more humane future. The museum is located on Constitution Avenue N.W., between 12th and 14th streets, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free. For more information, visit http://americanhistory.si.edu. For Smithsonian information, the public may call (202) 633-1000.

Enrique Martínez’s New Book Infidelidad Un Camino Doloroso Hacia La Soledad, Is An Evoking Tale Of A Man’s Moments Of Love, Heartbreak, And Gaining Wisdom

0
Page_Publishing_Enrique_Martinez

HOUSTON, Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Infidelidad un Camino Doloroso hacia la Soledad was created by Enrique Martínez. Enrique is an author from Guatemala with a passion for reading. He moved to the United States at the end of 1995.

Enrique said this about his book: “When I had just turned fifteen, I became a father. At my young age, I wanted to play as an adult, and the responsibilities were arriving day by day in my new stage as a dad. When my little son turned his first year, I had the opportunity during a dinner at my house to tell my mother that I would soon take Elizabeth into marriage. Listening to me, she took my hand and said, ‘You are too young to take that big step. Life is just beginning for both of you, and you have a long way to go to meet many more people.’

No matter her words that night, my decision to continue the civil wedding was still standing, and that was how a couple of months later I married Elizabeth, thinking at the time that she was the woman with whom I would share the rest of my life with.

Without imagining that after three years, those words of my mother would resonate in my head when the most important person in my life appeared to my world.

It would really be amazing if we had a crystal ball to observe our future within it and thus make better decisions. Believing in destiny was not important to me, I thought that life was what we were building day by day with our actions. But, my friend, destiny would arrive very soon, planning step by step the exact moment in which he would knock on the door of my heart. That sudden change of life would bring a hurricane of problems and many conflicts for Elizabeth, my family, and for that person who came to change me, in an extraordinary way, my way of seeing life and love.”

Published by Page Publishing, Enrique Martínez’s new book Infidelidad un Camino Doloroso hacia la Soledad will entrance readers with true circumstances of a man whose view of life changed due to failed love and precipitous decisions.

Consumers who wish to learn how to attain sensibility in love and responsibility can purchase Infidelidad un Camino Doloroso hacia la Soledad in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
