Hispanic Cultural Leaders Memorialize Miguel Luna

(Providence, Rhode Island, USA) The presidents of the two Hispanic cultural organizations with major festival events during Councilman Miguel Luna’s brief illness both spoke at the Memorial Service for Luna at the Roger Williams Park Casino in Providence .

Both festivals had kept Miguel in their prayers, and the Puerto Rican Festival had a moment of silence during the festival to remember the fallen councilman.

Marilyn Cepeda Sánchez, President of Quisqueya en Acción and Vivian Moreno, President of the Puerto Rican Cultural Festival & Parade of RI both spoke fondly of the late Councilman Miguel Luna. While the two women related personal experiences, the theme of their current concerns were similar, including the well being of the Luna children and family, and the loss of a champion for social justice in the community.

The stories from both women gave listeners the same clear message: that Miguel Luna lived for his community, that his help was selfless and genuine, that his influence and help went far beyond the local community, and that he will be sorely missed.
