The procession highlights the mixing of Catholicism and indigenous belief and of American and Mexican culture. In the essay, the author remembers living in San Antonio and compares the culture of acceptance toward Latinos versus her observation of animosity toward Latinos in North Carolina. The history of the holiday, Latino culture, and Latinos is America is discussed.
