Summary: <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; color: #1a1a1a;">Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15-Oct. 15, is supposed to be a time to celebrate Latino contributions to U.S. society and culture. But is it a way to sanitize Latino history and market to Latinos? We speak with Prof. Arlene Dávila and humorist Lalo Alcaraz about the uses and meanings of Hispanic Heritage Month as part of our<i style=""> </i>series on Latino identity, "Somos." We also bring you a profile on health hero Salvador Balcorta, a man who leads a clinic in one of the country’s poorest neighborhoods. And although superheroes may rule the movie screens, two Chicanos from Southern California have ruled comic books with Latino stories for the past 30 years. Hear what Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, creators of Love and Rockets have to say about their work, being the grandfathers of indie comics, and punk rock.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><p></p></span></p>
