Día de los Muertos Celebration held in Boyle Heights
Los Angeles, CA – On November 7 hundreds of Chicanos gathered in Boyle Heights to celebrate Día de los Muertos, “Day of the Dead.”
Día de los Muertos is celebrated among Chicanos as a day to honor those who have passed away. The event was organized by Self Help Graphics. SHG organizes one of the oldest and most popular Día De Los Muertos celebrations which started in 1973, and they continue to do yearly celebrations on the East Side of Los Angeles. They have played an integral role in the revival of the Chicano holiday.
Centro CSO has had an altar at the Día De Los Muertos celebration for many years. This year the altar honored those killed by ICE, police and those who have been killed in Palestine by Israel’s genocide. The altar had traditional flowers like cempasúchil (marigold), food and framed photos of people like Lorenzo Salgado Araujo who was killed by ICE, David Ordaz Jr, killed by the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, and Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist killed by an Israeli sniper.
“I would like to say that it was a very special moment for our community because, not only our group, but others, shared their visions of celebrating life after death. We hold on to their memories through beautiful traditions like these,” stated Brianna Mosqueda, a Centro CSO member who helped lead the planning of the CSO altar.
Mayra Plascencia, another Centro CSO member who helped put together the altar stated, “This altar represents all those who died from killer ICE and killer cops, never forgotten, we are always fighting for those that can’t.”
The event ended with live performances by Santa Cecilia and Los Lobos. Check out Centro CSO’s Instagram for photos of the altar.
