Senator Ed Markey Celebrates Hispanic & Latio American Heritage Month

Published | Video Starts at 01:16

A spirit of hope that is enduring and courageous and inspires us to persevere and to fight back against injustice in our country. And an entrepreneurial vision, resilience, and a sense of community that reminds us that Immigrants not only make this country, they make it better, they make it a lot better. So this Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month is about both celebration and solidarity. It is precisely in challenging times such as these, when communities are met with barriers, hate and attacks, that we must remain together and renew our hope together. (01:16–01:26)
