their honor, I am making a batch of cowboy soup with black beans
instead of pintos.

Moros y Cristianos (Spanish: [ˈmoɾos i kɾisˈtjanos]) or Moros i
Cristians (Valencian: [ˈmɔɾoz i kɾistiˈans]), literally in English Moors
and Christians, is a set of festival activities which are celebrated in
many towns and cities of Spain, mainly in the southern Valencian
Community. According to popular tradition the festivals commemorate the
battles, combats and fights between Moors (i.e. Muslims) and Christians
during the period known as Reconquista (from the 8th century through the
15th century). There are also festivals of Moros y Cristianos in Spanish
America.[1][2]
We also have a "Reconquista" here, but it's more of an ongoing border
blast for now.

"In the last week of March 1969, El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán was
drafted at the National Youth and Liberation Conference in Denver, a
gathering of Chicano (Mexican-American) youth and political heavyweights
from across the country. El Plan was politically radical, even for its
time. In essence, it was a blunt reminder to the nation that what we now
call the American Southwest was part of Mexico until the U.S. invasion
(1846-1848) forced the Mexican government to cough up nearly half of its
territory. And before that, of course, this was all Indian country.
El Plan did not call for the overthrow of the U.S. government (no matter
what white nationalists try to tell you), but the tone and language of
the manifesto was unabashedly militant. In short, it declared, “We’ll be
back.”
When? That wasn’t so clear. And probably for the best, since Nixon’s FBI
was watching.
Fast forward to 2019. I seriously doubt that the Southwest or the rest
of the country will be reconquered anytime soon, but Latinos, not just
Chicanos, are making a real comeback."
Who knows, maybe one day Arizona will be Aztlan.
In the 5 years since that was penned it looks like it to me.
They celebrate this in the village where my father and I have our
spanish holiday house. It is a very nice party and always celebrated
with plenty of good food! The only strange thing is that in the village
they throw some kind of bread around. It's rock hard, so could be
dangerous, but everyone enjoys it! ;)
Beats those messy tomato wars, right?
