The Carnival - 9781959895763

People in Ponce, Puerto Rico, have been celebrating Carnival for over 250 years! Each year the Carnival lasts the whole month of February with parades, music, and special events. The Carnival is a special celebration before the Christian season of Lent, six weeks before Easter. During the Carnival, people make elaborate masks, dress up in costumes, dance, and play music. The National Museum of American History is fortunate to have many Carnival-related artifacts generously donated by collector Teodoro Vidal. It all started at the Carnival in Ponce. Alicia knew that there were drugs all over the place. Little did she know that by making an exclusive interview with the Narcos, she was risking her life and the rest of her crew. David wasn't her cup of tea. She couldn't stand the guy. On the other hand, David was a sweetheart. He was always helping people in need. He was usually called, GI JOE. David had never cut it this close on a job before. His face and arms were covered in black paint. The black shirt and pants he wore were one of his standard uniforms, ones he'd been wearing for as long as he could remember. As he crouched down behind the small air conditioning unit next to the recently renovated house, he swore he'd never cut it this close again. Norma Iris Pagan Morales was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
