We are excited and honored to announce the unveiling of a new bronze statue in honor of Roberto Maestas , which will be placed in Plaza Roberto Maestas. The leaders in communities of color are often forgotten, and we want to honor and remember his leadership for generations to come. This statue will be a symbol of the lessons, values, and courage that Roberto Maestas gave to his community, which will be carried on by our youth and future generations.
