Today is May 5, 2002 and in Mexico it is a holiday, Cinco de Mayo.
I know all about Cinco de Mayo. Few Americans know how that holiday originated.
Most think it is a celebration but is is really a day of mourning.
Most people don't know that in 1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. The Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the
condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be
the next port of call for the great ship after New York City. The people
of Mexico eagerly awaited the first delivery and were very upset at the
news of the sinking. So much so that they declared a national day of
mourning which they still observe today. It is known, of course, as:
Sinko de Mayo.
