poet Joe Pacheco has written another topical poem for us. Today he
shares his thoughts on the confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the
U.S. Supreme Court. The 76-year-old retired New York City school
superintendent says this monumental moment allows him to show off what
he calls his “Nuyorican” pride. Nuyorican’s are Americans of Puerto
Rican descent, born in New York City.
