Cinco de Mayo in the U.S. didn’t start as an excuse to drink — it started as a political act.

Mexican Americans built this tradition over generations to be seen, to claim space, and to define ourselves on our own terms.

I went deep on the history and what it means in a place like Detroit.

Consider becoming a paid subscriber so that I may continue to take you down these culturally resonant rabbit holes. 🐰
