Welcome to Diversity Graphics Home Page!
Gozando with Chico Volume One is a collection of independently released and visionary small record label releases. Chicano rock is a wide range musical genre that is mostly neglected by “mainstream” record companies, both English and Spanish. For many decades, dedicated and passionate collectors of this musical style have had to work hard and look carefully to find recordings. Chicano music disc jockeys, like Erik “Chico” Manqueros, have been the connection, bringing music and listeners together. They gather the music from far and near and send it out through the airwaves or stream it via the net. Chico Manqueros brings you “pan dulce for your ears, as he likes to call the music that he shares with his listeners. In very few instances you will find a collection of Chicano talent as the one that “Chico” Manqueros is bringing you.

"September 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. They all declared independence in 1821. In addition, Mexico, Chile and Belize celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18 and September 21, respectively. "
Diversity Graphics was recently profiled in the HispanicMPR.com site: Getting ready for Hispanic Heritage Month! Their Editor and Host, Elena del Valle, was impressed by our work, especially our 2009 Hispanic Heritage Poster. The poster represents Hispanic/Latino culture throughout the world and the community’s impact on American society. Designed by Ana Rodrigues and Diversity Graphic's founder, Steven Rodriguez. The poster included the continents, the American Flag and silhouettes of various figures including a graduate, a judge, family and politician along with the phrase “¡Sí Se Puede!” to reflect “unity, empowerment, and the importance to get involved.”
“Diversity Graphics has been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (and all other major celebrations) for over 25 years, providing posters, buttons and other materials for sale to help others celebrate in the workforce, schools or public, thus educating the importance of Diversity. Hispanic Heritage Month is one of our most successful celebrations,” said Mark Martinez, owner of the California company.

Quick, Which Ethnic Group Is More Patriotic Than the Average?
John Ridley, Emmy-Winning Commentator and Writer for Esquire, Posted May 9, 2009. Courtesy of HuffingtonPost.com.
Every Black History Month there's always one contrarian (at least one) who pipes up with some snidism such as: "Why do blacks get a month? Why don't we just give everybody a month?" If by "everybody" the cynics mean people of ethnicities whose heritage is not otherwise sufficiently taught in schools, then, yes. We should give "everybody" a month, and "everybody" pretty much has one.
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, devoted to commemorating individuals of Asian and Pacific Island heritage who've contributed greatly to our nation. May was designated as it's the anniversary of both the first Japanese immigrants arriving in the United States -- May 7th, 1843 -- and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10th, 1869 which was built with the considerable labor of a large contingent of Chinese coolies.
And contrarians aside, no matter that it's 2009 and there's a biracial man as president, there's still much we can all learn about others during such designated months. Particularly this month as most other Americans don't distinguish Asian Americans, and look at them as a monolithic group. And as much as 45 percent of the general population says they believe Asian-Americans have more loyalty to their countries of ancestry than to the United States. That number has actually increased from 37 percent in a similar 2001 survey. For the record, about 75 percent of Chinese-Americans surveyed (for example) said they would support the United States in military or economic conflicts. That compares to only about 56 percent of the general population who said they would.
Of course, as you take time to learn about Asian-American history, such patriotism isn't surprising. Just read up on Executive Order 9066, the Nisei Brigade and their rescue of the Lost Battalion to be reminded again that so often in our nation's history it's the very folks who are denied the blessing of liberty who fight and bleed for it the hardest.
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month doesn't get nearly the play that Black History Month does. But then neither do Women's History Month (March), Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep 15th to Oct 15th), or American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month (November). But next time a contrarian wants to know if we have to give everybody a month, you can hand them a calendar and get them educated.
