The cities of Richmond and San Pablo hosted the area's first-ever Latin American Independence Day Parade on Saturday, celebrating the rich diversity of Latin American cultures.
Genoveva Calloway, Parade Chairperson, said, 'To me, it's about unity. It brings people out, we have a good time, and we meet new people.'
Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia remarked, 'It's really to celebrate the diversity of our community, great participation by schools and organizations, clubs and nonprofits.'
Deysi Chacon emphasized, 'The nice thing about getting it celebrated in September, we're not just highlighting Mexico. We're highlighting Central American cultures as well.'
