H.R. No. 2094
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Each year, Mexicans and Hispanics of Mexican descent
  celebrate Diez y Seis, Mexican Independence Day, as they recall the
  historic events of September 16, 1810; and
         WHEREAS, Diez y Seis de Septiembre marks the beginning of the
  revolution that occurred in Mexico after years of oppressive rule
  by Spain; Catholic priest and national hero Miguel Hidalgo y
  Costilla touched off the long-simmering rebellion when he ordered
  the arrest of native Spaniards in the town of Dolores and encouraged
  the indigenous peoples of Mexico to overthrow the brutal Spanish
  regime; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Father Hidalgo is revered as the father of
  Mexican independence; his call for freedom and for social and
  economic justice continues to evoke heartfelt feelings of pride and
  patriotism at home and to inspire oppressed people of all
  nationalities; and
         WHEREAS, Every year on September 16, Father Hidalgo's Grito
  de Independencia, or "Shout of Independence," is proclaimed by the
  president of Mexico from the balcony of the National Palace, as well
  as by the governor of each state, and the cry "Viva Mexico" resounds
  from the gathered multitudes in tribute to this national hero and
  all who took up the long, arduous struggle for self-determination;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize Diez y Seis de Septiembre 2021 and
  extend best wishes to the many people in Texas and beyond who are
  celebrating this meaningful occasion.
