Description

I have seen celebrations in the news about a baby whose life was saved by gene therapy using CRISPR technology, (“A race to edit a newborn’s genes and save his life,” May 16). I am celebrating too. This technology also underlies a new treatment for the much more common problem of sickle cell anemia, and it could lead to therapies for cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disease.

Afro-Peruvian Culture Day 💫 June 4th 💫. Día de la Cultura Afroperuana 💫4 de junio💫 🇵🇪 Afro-Peruvian Culture Day – June 4th On June 4th, we celebrate Afro-Peruvian Culture Day in tribute to the rich heritage and invaluable contributions of the Afro-descendant community to the heart of Peruvian society. This date honors the birth of Nicomedes Santa Cruz, a renowned poet and folklorist who devoted his life to preserving and promoting Afro-Peruvian traditions through music, poetry (décimas), and popular art. Throughout the day, artistic performances, traditional dances, exhibitions, and cultural gatherings highlight the creativity, strength, and living legacy of a community that has profoundly shaped Peru’s identity. Celebrating this day means embracing our roots with pride and remembering that the story of Peru cannot be told without the rhythm of the cajón, the wisdom of the ancestors, and the steady voice of those who, generation after generation, have endured with dignity and joy.

Durante esta jornada se realizan actividades artísticas, danzas, exposiciones y encuentros que destacan la creatividad, la fuerza y el legado vivo de una comunidad que ha marcado profundamente la identidad del Perú. Celebrar esta fecha es valorar con entusiasmo las raíces y recordar que la historia del Perú no puede contarse sin el ritmo del cajón, la sabiduría de los ancestros y la voz firme de quienes, generación tras generación, han sabido resistir con dignidad y alegría.
