And I also wanted to say happy single mayo to everyone.

Um marks the 1862 Ratha of Puebla where Mexican farmers' forces led under President Benito Juarez, the first indigenous president of Mexico, and they defeated the French army.

That helped the United States because the French army didn't then come and assist the South in the Civil War.

Um, and so that is an important holiday here in the United States for those reasons.

I want to elevate that history because people get really confused on what's thinking my ways.

Thank you so much for educating us and celebrating.

Great way to do both.

Uh Councilman Sawyer.
