Today even the part of Avila that was within the walls is hardly recognizable. I kept asking for directions to downtown. Imagine in the most historical part of Avila a Burger King. We are not just witnessing a physical change we are also witnessing a cultural change. Physical change and cultural change have to occur in uni- son. The process of change occurs at home with par- ents encouraging their children to be a part of that change. Spain went from a dictatorship to a democracy. The transition was not easy. Those that were kept out of the political process for years, like the communists showed up and demanded their place at the table. They may have gotten a place at the table but they did not get power. We Mexican Americans and Latinos have for many years forfeited our place at the table because of our failure to vote. We have some well qualified can- didates running for office. Make your choice at the ballot box. You can be part of a powerful change. You can't stop change. But you can prepare for it. This election table we need to reserve our place at the table. Vote.

The crowd was largely Latino, but there was representation from all communities. In addition, there were both young, old and everything in between.

In addition, as I grow older I realize that the only way to leave a living leg- acy is to share your values and beliefs with others that will continue the fight. We are put on this earth to help others, so we must at times put action to words, less words become hollow. By A.
