| Welcome to Somos Primos™, a publication dedicated to past and present articles, events and information concerning Hispanic heritage issues. Somos Primos is an all volunteer effort. There is no paid staff and there is no cost for accessing issues. |
|
The editorial focus of Somos Primos is to connect present day
situations to its historical foundation. The goal is to awaken
Latinos to the fact that we are walking in the footsteps of our
ancestors. Whether that path is clear to our vision or not, we are
in the midst of that road. It is imperative that we grasp the unique
and individual part in world history, and especially United States
history, that our grand-parents walked. The contributions of our
ancestors are important to understand the many social issues of
today. Whether the umbrella title is Hispanic or Latino, the problem is one of a confused and distorted image. Who are we? The identity problem is based on many historical occurrences, political and social factors which are currently being explored, on many levels. Somos Primos originated in 1986 with a different name. It was first as a flyer posting upcoming meetings for a Hispanic Research Study group in Orange County, California. The study group grew into a non-profit, and the flyer developed into Somos Primos, a quarterly for the now named Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research, a 28 page hard copy published from 1990-1999. |
January
2000, the first issue of the monthly SomosPrimos.com was posted
online. As increasing amount of information was shared by individuals
and groups, the online issues has grown to an over 300 pages heritage
journal. Somos Primos online exposure resulted in many and increasing national [project for promoting Spanish language heritage and history.In 2004, Somos Primos was invited to assist in organizing the first conference on Hispanic heritage ever held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. "Hispanics and the Formation of the American People" During 2005 we were involved with and facilitated six heritage events. For more information, please go to: NARA In 2012 the National Council of La Raza invited Somos Primos to participate in their National Conference, held in Las Vegas. This year we have been invited again. It will be held in New Orleans, a very historic city.
