On Thursday, April 18 my students and I coordinated an activity in which we celebrated the National Bilingual/Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month. In this activity, one of our adjuncts professors presented information about the struggle that a Puerto Rican woman, Evelina Lopez Antonetty had in providing access to bilingual education to a monolingual-Spanish community in the South Bronx . The South Bronx is still considered one of the most impoverished boroughs in NYC and it is also where the college I am working at (Eugenio Maria de Hostos CC) is located. As part of the activity, I wrote a poem about Evelina Lopez Antonetty and the poem was translated by my students into three (3) different languages.

Evelina Fue Tu Nombre / Evelina 是你的名字

4 月 18 日星期四，我和我的学生协调了一项活动，我们庆祝了全国双语/多语学习者倡导月。在这次活动中，我们的一名兼职教授介绍了一位波多黎各妇女 Evelina Lopez Antonetty 在为南布朗克斯的单语西班牙语社区提供双语教育机会方面的斗争信息。南布朗克斯仍然被认为是纽约市最贫困的行政区之一，也是我工作的大学 (Eugenio Maria de Hostos CC) 所在的地方。作为活动的一部分，我写了一首关于 Evelina Lopez Antonetty 的诗，我的学生将这首诗翻译成三 (3) 种不同的语言。
