Festival Betances 2009

When I was 15 I got my first paid job was through the Harriet Tubman House in the South End. They hired a bunch of youth and sent us out into different locations. I was placed in IBA where I was taught how to interview community people while balancing a giant camera on my right shoulder. It was an awesome summer!

The fine people of IBA and many vollunteers are gearing up for the Festival Betances, the oldest Latino community arts and cultural festival in New England. The festivities start on July 17-19, 2009 - Tito Rojas, is a featured performer on Sunday the 19th.
