Interesting information I came across today...

Since June 2022 the Guarocuya Cultural Society and the Guarocuya Cultural Society Museum are working to make possible a museum for María Montez.

The beautiful thing to read is that Emilia Gracia Lazin and Consuelo Gracia Vidal were part of the team to make that possible.

Here you have the information which comes from "Maria Montez Site":

The Guarocuya Cultural Society and the Guarocuya Cultural Society Museum work intensely with a team of collaborators including Vivian Perez, Emilia Gracia Lazin, Consuelo Gracia and the renowned American photographer Tom Zimmerman; in a joint effort to revalue the memory of this legendary Dominican actress, and that in line with the publications already made by Margarita Vicens de Morales, contribute to the well-deserved knowledge, preservation and appreciation of her work, permanently exhibited in a museum, which will be our starting point for careful studies of her life and cinematographic work. (June/06/2022)

Here you have the link to the Museo Sociedad Cultural Guarocuya and a very interesting PDF which has a little information about Maria Montez and I guess will be displayed in her museum once it opens!

There’s an interesting conversation here about how Latino communities are used about certain type of conservative Christian (catholic) flavor of statehood where we don’t necessarily discriminate by black vs white or of someone is “black” or “white” enough (not counting Argentina), but we DO have a problem with colorism and classism being heavily intertwined, where the darkest skin colors, and specially in men, tend to be more represented in poorer areas (only surpassed by natives, which are the ones suffering indisputable racism), while mid and lighter skin tones are in more often than not in middle class and upwards.

They seek for the “American dream” after our countries are destroyed by the US imperialism expansion and psy-ops operations, looking for places that share their “conservative” catholic values and customs they’re so used to, that they don’t understand being conservative in the USA is so, so different than in their countries. They flee the “woke” only to find out their mere existence is considered woke in those places, not being welcome. Outsiders. That’s the reality we live in.

They really need the reality wake up call. The punch. To understand they’re not considered part of them. To stop believing those places are just like our countries. They hate us. White USAmericans hate us, no matter how many traditional opinions or believes you may share with them.

Latinos and black people suffer under the same nationalistic white supremacy. And they don’t understand it, as it has probably never happened to them before from where they come. They’re brothers and sisters under the same oppression.

While this does not excuse their behavior nor endorses it, I do hope this explains a little where their mindset comes from. How they don’t get that their actions uphold white supremacy until it punches them in the face.

nah nah nah. y'all wanted to be white so bad, stay there with them and EAT THAT RACISM smfh
