Bishop Perez is keynote speaker at 35th annual Fiesta of Hope
Esperanza Inc., which is celebrating its 35th anniversary as the leading advocate for education in the Hispanic community, awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships at its annual Fiesta of Hope celebration on June 22 at the Cleveland Renaissance Ballroom.
Bishop Nelson Perez was the keynote speaker. Two scholarship winners also shared their stories with the more than 700 attendees at the lunch program. Emcee once again was Russ Mitchell, WKYC TV3 anchor.
?Human rights cross borders and need to be respected,? Bishop Perez said, referencing some of the difficult times Hispanics have experienced recently.
?I want to thank the media. They tell the story and this country rose to its feet and said, ?This is not happening,? and things started to change.?
The bishop said family is everything to Hispanics and hope is at the center of all things.
