Reflection for Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and the many Spanish-speaking countries and cultures which have positively contributed to the diversity we share in the United States.
CHA is pleased to present the following poem – "Como Tú" – in both Spanish and English translations, along with some questions for reflection.
"Como Tú" was penned in Spanish by the Salvadoran poet Roque Dalton (1935-1975) and translated by Jack Hirschman (1933-2021), an American poet from New York. Both were passionate social activists committed to advocating for the poor and vulnerable.
