The Montgomery County Council celebrated its 12th annual Hispanic Heritage Month commemoration on Tuesday.
The theme of this year’s commemoration was “Legacy in Motion: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” and included a musical performance by local folkloric dance group Corazón Folklórico Dance Company, a special video program, and a Council proclamation.
The video program featured interviews with local leaders and community members of the county’s Hispanic community, including Jefferson Reyes, a AAA School Safety Patrol Lifesaving Award Recipient, recognized for his courageous and selfless act in protecting a fellow student; Gabriela Romo, a bilingual licensed clinical professional counselor with expertise on psychosocial evaluations for immigration applications; and Gustavo Torres, the Executive Director at CASA.
