 San Jose Mercury News

A few decades ago, when America celebrated its 200th birthday, the
world was invited. And what a yearlong patriotic party it was,
stretching from small towns to the National Mall.

Now it's Mexico's turn, with a cross-border, double spin.

The first of many local events celebrating and reflecting on Mexico's
bicentennial kicked off Sunday with a parade in downtown San Jose
commemorating the country's 1810 war of independence with Spain and
social revolution of 1910 over land reform and equality.

"I feel Mexican like never before," said Miguel Larios, director of
the Aztec dance group Movimiento Cultural Anahuac.
