As time went on, we captured and adjusted to the changes of living in such a diverse neighborhood
My family moved to Boston in the early 70’s in response to the economic situation in the island of Puerto Rico. We, the new comers at that time, went through cultural and language barriers.
As time went on, we captured and adjusted to the changes of living in such a diverse neighborhood. We brought and shared Latino cultural through festivals, dances and full participation in politics; education, housing, health care among others. This unique and often overlooked perspective on the contributions of Latinos in the Greater Boston Community is not documented. Therefore, I decided to create a vehicle for our stories to be told. Que Lindo Boston is a site where you will see the contributions that Latinos have made in this amazing city “Boston.” A second home for many of us. Together we bring diversity and add to the charms of this exciting and enchanting city.
