“We are taking on integration in a very Brazilian way - singing a samba in a mix of Spanish and Portuguese. I decided not to get into the whole revolution theme, first of all because it's too distant from the Brazilian people.”
Alexandre Louzada
“Words were written out for me phonetically. I learned to quack in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and German.”
Clarence Nash
“I know there are tons of Spanish and Portuguese speakers on campus, but we haven't been able to reach them yet. This is a volunteer organization and getting key individuals who are passionate about this work is so important.”
Sarah Carmichael
“Mom ran the house, so we grew up Portuguese.”
Emeril Lagasse
“I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. My background was modest, and I worked at a Portuguese bakery in town.”
“Even though they lost, the Portuguese came by the busloads and some Greeks went to the West End. We've seen the TV clips and it's not a fable.

It's getting a lot of attention in each community and we're hoping that 20,000 people come out over the three days.”
Stan Papulkas
“My mom is Portuguese, and my dad is French Canadian. The solid foundations of those heritages, cultures and techniques, melded with my education and classical background, lead to my style of cooking.”
