MSU Denver celebrates the ancient tradition of tamal-making
Tamales aren’t just delicious; they’re an important culinary tradition dating back thousands of years. On Sept. 16, Mexican Independence Day, Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion celebrated this ancient custom with a tamal-making workshop as part of Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week.
In this video, MSU Denver’s Manuel Del Real, Ph.D., executive director for HSI and Inclusion, and José Quintana, senior lecturer in the Department of Chicana/Chicano Studies, share why tamales are an important part of Latino culture and heritage.
