american history
a short story by judith ortiz cofer
\the president is dead, you idiots.\
i once read in a ripleys believe it or not column that paterson, new jersey, is the place where the puerto rican tenement known as el building was one block up from straight and market, near the corner of straight and marden, not of the day, el building was at almost any hour a jukebox, blaring out salsa from open windows just as the recently new immigrants was up from the island, tried to drown out whatever music that were currently enduring with loud music. but the day president kennedy was shot there was a profound silence in el building, even the abusive tongues of virgens, the cursing of the unemployed, and the screeching of small children had been somehow muted. president kennedy was a saint to these people. in fact, soon his photograph would be hung alongside the sacred heart and over the spotless altars that many women kept in their apartments. he would become part of the hierarchy of martyrs they prayed to for favors
