Conociendo Boston: La
Historia de Boston en Español by Luis Fernando
Velez
Foreword
by Nader Acevedo
Conociendo Boston is an applause
to the effort of Luis Fernando Velez, a lawyer who has been committed
to social work in Boston. The experience of Velez as a judge in his
homeland Colombia, strengthens his capacity of going in depth into
the social aspects of a city as rich in culture as Boston.
I personally admire Luis Fernando for his tenacity
and persistence to pursue a literary adventure that will raise the
critical interest of an important community. Publishing this work
will not just give great satisfaction to the author but even more
to you our friend, the reader. As executive director of the Hispanic
American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Boston, it is a pleasure to
endorse an author that lives and works among us. It is part of our
social and cultural responsibility to make available to professionals,
families, workers, and students this important book about the academic
capital of the United States.
Our associates, clients, and the extended community
will have an invaluable social value publication. The book deposits
knowledge, imagination, and stories about the story of a city that
has given a lot to the Hispanic immigrant, who everyday wins more
space and relevance in this land of pilgrims and colonizers. As he
did researcher work, I want to highlight the effort of a thinker who
is looking to accomplish a goal that will leave a historical mark
to be recognized by residents and visitors. It is wonderful that Boston
has a book about its history, written in Spanish and with interesting
content for everyone.
