“Cinco de Mayo” is an event originally observed in Mexico celebrating the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican culture and diversity. May 5, 2012 marks the 150th celebration of this event.
