"I would like to thank and congratulate FLECHAS on the launching of a new web site and for celebrating the varied and vibrant Puerto Rican culture that includes many ethnicities such as African, Spanish and Taino," Rep. Juan Candelaria (D-New Haven) said. "The increased access to information will serve to educate people that although from many different backgrounds, we share a common experience in the unique intermingling of cultures that is reflected in the arts, food, music, literature and faces of the beautiful Puerto Rican people."
