Cinco de Mayo Celebrations Today
(Undated) — It’s Cinco de Mayo and celebrations are being held in many cities today. The festival celebrates the victory of the outnumbered Mexican army over Napoleon’s forces in 1862. Vice President Mike Pence says the day is a good time to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans. At a Cinco de Mayo event held at the White House a day early, Pence said he and Donald Trump are making the Latino community a priority.
