On Thanksgiving Day many individuals from the Oaxaqueño business community served more than 1,500 plates of turkey dinners for the needy at Normandie Park in Los Angeles. What a treat that must’ve been. Now, don’t think that this was your typical run of the mill turkey. The Oaxaqueños prepared four different types of guajolete (as they are called in Mexico), with chipotle chile, a la naranja, enchilada and of course the traditional kind which is prepared in a delicious broth.

No Thanks on Thanksgiving

While some Latino families will be eating pavo (or pernil) giving thanks in the tradition of a story passed on about Native Americans sharing with the pilgrims, others may be out serving those less fortunate. For many Latinos whose roots lie in Indigenous cultures across the Americas today is no party. It is a day or mourning and remembrance of colonization and genocide. Regardless of your position on this so called holiday, even if you’re just enjoying having the day off work and school, it never hurts to have a little background information.
From 10 am to 6 pm EST, WBAI Radio in NYC (99.5 fm or on the web at WBAI.org) will be telling the true story of Thanksgiving and how the Pilgrims, the Puritans, and the influences of Christianity created the American view of this day.
Have a safe and thoughtful day.
