“People of Mexican heritage are celebrating the Cinco de Mayo holiday, which commemorates Mexico’s victory over French invaders in the town of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

In the United States, the day is marked with parties, music, dancing, food and concerts as people celebrate Mexican history and culture. An estimated 25 million men and women of Mexican origin now live in the United States.”
