Cinco de Mayo

The Progressive: I detest Cinco de Mayo

I don’t have anything against having fun. But, as a historian, I am enraged at the ways that corporations distort history in order to sell something. In this case, binge drinking, partying and food. May 5 should be celebrated for what is truly represents rather than for what corporations want us to believe it stands for.
