Description

By Yujie Zhou, Mission Local November 3, 2021 As the city slowly recovers from the pandemic, the annual Día de los Muertos celebration at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) has taken on a new meaning this year – "Ni Tanto Ni Tan Muertos" (neither so many, nor so dead) – to honor the memory of those who recently departed. "Not too many, because there are many more of us still alive. Not so dead, because they are in our memories," said Jennie Rodriquez, executive director of MCCLA. "The fact that we're going to meet those we love once a year means a lot of hope." Please scroll down for photos from this year's celebration. To read the full article, click here.
