All of us at TB Reporter wish all of you a Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

If you’ve ever wondered about the importance of Cinco de Mayo, here’s a short explanation from history.com:

“Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico; in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the U.S.”
