Press Conference: H.R. 10
Recognizing Taíno Culture and Heritage in Connecticut
Reps. Christopher Rosario and Geraldo Reyes, Jr. will hold a press conference highlighting H.R. 10, the Connecticut House Resolution they championed, ahead of the 4th Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Closing & Taíno Remembrance Day hosted by the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center.
H.R. 10 was adopted by the Connecticut House of Representatives, making Connecticut the first state in the nation to formally recognize the culture and heritage of Taíno descendants. This adoption, read into the House record, underscores the enduring influence and resilience of the Taíno people and their intersection with Latino cultural identity.
