Seniors’ Moment

Experience Hispanic Heritage

When we talk about immigration, many people forget that Latinos have been living in the United States for a long time, even before English settlers arrived on the East Coast. At the Vida Senior Center in Washington, D.C., many elderly Latinos come together to participate in a bicultural community and enjoy each other’s company. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, and to demonstrate just how many different cultures fall under the term “Hispanic,” Ramona Martinez went to the center to hear their stories.
