Discussion of civil human rights should be fostered

TO THE EDITOR:

The election and inauguration of our first minority president has marked a momentous occasion of social progress in regards to race.

However the editors of Mezcla (a student-produced bilingual magazine) feel that these gains should not be the full extent of our efforts toward social justice.

The discussion of equality for minorities and fairness within society must not be discontinued at this pinnacle hour. In recognition for the sustained need of addressing racial issues Mezcla has formatted the theme of the next issue to address the continuation of the civil and equal rights movements of the United States.

As the only student bilingual publication at UNC we strongly urge you the student body to continue this dialogue; do not let complacency silence your opinions. Our next issue focuses on the unity of racial and gendered movements in America's future. If this interests you please let your voice be heard.
