On this Día de los Muertos / #DayoftheDead, we remember the lives of those who passed through slavery and the descendants they left behind.
As a part of our responsibility, we gather the documents, photos, and their stories, but today we whisper their names and center their lives in our hearts and minds.
Día de Muertos is a profoundly meaningful and beautiful Mexican celebration, which includes traditions of visiting graves, building private altars (ofrendas), and honoring the deceased by leaving foods and beverages that nourished the dead when they were living.

FEAR OF THE DARK
La Stout de @IronMaiden elaborada por @robbiesbrewery
No está mal pero tampoco es la mejor stout pero ni de lejos. Para mi gusto le sobra gas y le falta cuerpo. Demasiado suave

It's almost Day of the Dead, so I'll be sharing a bit about the life of José Cuervo. (Yes, a real guy.)
For unknown reasons, @JoseCuervo, the brand, hasn't answered my requests for access to their archives for years.
So please boost w/ RTs. Let's recover this history together!

José Cuervo Labastida, the second son of Malaquías Cuervo Flores and Francisca Labastida, was born on October 9, 1869, on the hacienda El Pasito in the foothills west of the town of Tequila in Jalisco. He was christened two days later in the parish church in Tequila.
Malaquías Cuervo was already a successful maker of vino mezcal (later known as vino tequila or simply tequila) at El Pasito and the neighboring hacienda, San Martín, where he had a small-scale distillery (or fábrica).

Feliz #DiaDeMuertos. Have you had a chance to visit our ofrenda in the lobby of our County building?
Dia de Muertos, or #DayOfTheDead, is a Mexican celebration honoring those who have passed away. An ofrenda, or altar, is put together to honor their memory. Ofrendas have a lot of symbolism, here are the main ones:
🔥 fire in the form of candles are symbols of our love for our deceased relatives and guiding lights for their spirits
🧂salt is usually placed on a plate and stops the souls of the deceased from being corrupted by earthly temptations
