 Evita Dubón (center) who is apart of the group “Folklore: Mi Bella Guatemala” arrives at the Santa Monica College Cinco De Mayo celebration event and is introduced to key speakers and is directed on when she will be performing her traditional Guatemalan dance for those in attendance in front of the clock tower on the SMC main campus on Thursday, May 3 2018.  This event was put together by the Santa Monica College club “Adelante,” whose goal at the event was to inform students about the origins of Cinco De Mayo and put to rest the stereotypes that come with the holiday, specifically the misperception that it is a day of independence for Mexico and also that is just a drinking holiday in the United States.
