Image HOLAHELLO.COM!, my personal site where i present HistoriaNews, an information segment, with historical/newsworthy facts (people, places, and events), which are NOT readily/easily available. It would be my preference that this site not be presented, that all contributing cultures within this country are being considered, especially in our school systems, but, when even at a state level the educational material chosen becomes not only selective in its content but omits verifiable information. It is then that i feel my site helps in spreading information about American Latinos; our challenges, achievements, and participation throughout the history of the United States.

UPDATE;: I am in the process of switching open source platforms and to improve content as well. Please be patient as the updated version of this site will be made more user friendly and brought up to date. Thank you for your continued visits.

That town today, located high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is a quiet and picturesque small town, with few of the original houses still standing, and is a not-well-known mountain retreat.
