Dia de La Raza in Clinton


Many Reasons to Celebrate

The 7 p.m. Mass at St. Mary's of the Visitation in Clinton last Saturday may have been solemn, but the rest of the evening was significantly more vibrant. The Dia de la Raza (Day of the Race) celebration brought hundreds of locals together to honor through dance, music, and food the variety of cultures that share Hispanic roots. Performers in traditional garb displayed dances from countries ranging from Mexico to Spain to Boliva-here, the group Pasion Boliviana performs a Bolivian dance "Tinku."
