Norman Bristol Colón joined the Hispanic Center Lehigh Valley Friday for the unveiling of a mural commemorating Pennsylvanian Roberto Clemente, a prominent figure in the Puerto Rican community and a legendary baseball player. Colon is director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).
“Roberto Clemente, who was and still is a Pennsylvanian by way of Puerto Rico, has inspired generations of Americans. This mural ignites a great sense of community pride, ownership, and empowerment while embracing and celebrating the rich Latino history in Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley,” said Colón.
