Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. Thomas Jefferson. Life, Libety, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The 76ers and A.I. (Allen Iverson). The Constitution. The Liberty Bell.

The mention of Philly evokes thoughts of the city of brotherly love and the city’s historical importance in the birth of our democracy. A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure to visit some friends at Penn Law in Philly, the fifth largest city in the US. A short drive from mi DC casita, Philly lies between NYC and DC off the New Jersey Turn Pike.

The Latina/o Law Student Association at Penn Law hold an annual event entitled La Gran Fiesta, where they host students and practitioners for a dinner and dancing. This year’s theme was Latinos in the Judiciary and my judge was dinner keynote speaker. It turned out to be a great opportunity to meet my colleagues in the northwest and many practitioners. Plus I danced a lot of bachata, dominican like merengue.

As I walked through the cobblestone streets, I imagined the fouding fathers debating and dreaming the future that I am living today. Ana (a chicanita from LA that I met at MALDEF last summer) and I walked from the trolley metro to Constitutional Hall where the Liberty Bell is housed. We also walked by the Museum of Art that was hosting a Dali exhibit, the only US engagement. After a light breakfast at Yum Yum donuts, the official sponsor of the city (there was a Yum Yum on every corner, I was floating while I thought about my wonderful trip and he peaceful drive that awaited me. As Ana and I were walking down a narrow street toward my rental car, a man walking toward us on a mean mission totally shoved me and I almost lost my balance. So much for brotherly love.

But I look forward to exploring Philly in future trips.
