We All Mourn Raúl Salinas
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 22, 2008
Dear Editor,
Thank you so much for covering the passing and the honoring of Raúl R. Salinas [“In Remembrance of Raúl,” Arts, Feb. 22]. The paper's commitment to celebrating local heroes, local artists, and local activists is the major reason why I pick up the paper. Raúl was a talented poet who could have gained more notoriety as a poet if he had spent less time working on human rights, poverty, and other issues that impact various segments of the Austin community. I greatly appreciate the paper giving editorial space to someone so many of us respected, loved, and live to emulate.
