On behalf of Illinois’ Mexican-American community, Illinois Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn would like to ask for your participation in the 4th Annual Mexican-American Skyline Tribute, to be held on Friday, September 12 through Friday, September 19, 2008.
Last year, more than a dozen buildings participated in the skyline tribute, which salutes the Mexican-American community’s historic contributions to Chicago. You can participate by lighting or decorating your building with the green, white and red colors of the Mexican “Bandera,” the national flag. You can also participate by putting up Mexican flags in front of the building. Your participation will be highlighted on the website, www.standingupforillinois.org/world.
The Skyline Tribute salutes the important role that Mexican-Americans have held in important Chicago industries over the last century. Today, approximately more than 500,000 Mexican-Americans live in the Chicago area.
Feel free to contact Ana Quinones (312-814-5456) in the Lieutenant Governor’s office with any questions or concerns.
