Austin is home to a large and diverse Mexican , Mexican American, Latino/a/x and Tejano Communities, Saturday, hosted by the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center 07th Annual Viva Mexico Celebration. It’s a celebration of community-based joy and solidarity — even in the face of the hateful treatment of Latino immigrants elsewhere. Photographer Hope Mora captured the scene; check out all of Mora’s images from the event below.
