Appearances
A lot of what brought them together was the Chicano movement, was Chicano culture.
And back in the days, the 70s especially, was the Raza Unida Party activism.
They would talk and laugh.
Ruby and Ernie were at my wedding.
Just really, really good people.
And it's not just the personal context.
Very positive people.
Always seeking to uplift the community.
Always seeking to do good.
Always being creative.
Always being supportive.
Always caring.
just a joy and bringing joy into people's lives.
I don't think I ever heard an angry word from Ruby or Ernie.
It was always just so positive.
And in politics, sometimes, you know, we see that negativity.
You know, we see where people want to bring things down.
They never displayed that.
Always positive, always wanting to build, always wanting to create, always wanting to support.
Sadly, both Ernie and Ruby passed away recently, so this is going to be a posthumous honoring of them and declaration of their day.
