Miami Beach Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

Miami Beach will host a variety of events to celebrate Hispanic Heritage throughout the month.

As part of Hispanic Heritage Celebrations, the city of Miami Beach will honor some of its community leaders in the arts, education, business, law enforcement and social services.

"Hispanics are a powerful voice on Miami Beach," said Frankie Trullenque, chairperson, Miami Beach Hispanic Affairs Committee. "And the winners exemplify the values that we most cherish - integrity, professionalism and a true caring for the community in which we live."

After nominations, Jose Rafael Martinez will be awarded in the arts, Tanya Diaz for education, Karpawich Family from Chica Tequilas for business, Joe Gato as a general, David King for public safety and Herb Sosa as a social service provider.
