Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for
the "fifth” of May" and is celebrated primarily in the US and regionally in Mexico. It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate and celebrate
the freedom and democracy granted in the first years of the American Civil War. Today the date is observed in the United
States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. If you are
