My sincere condolences to Arturo's family especially his long-time partner and spouse Lois Athey. I knew Arturo from the days of Fiesta DC circa 1990-92 and knew him to be a great leader of all Latinos living in the DC region and defender of workers everywhere. He was an extremely intelligent man who spent his life working for others and his communities -- Afro-Latinos, immigrants, workers, students... todos. Rest in peace Arturo and know that the struggle, the fight for justice, peace, and brotherhood will continue.
