Enrique Murillo Jr., CSUSB professor of education and founder and executive director of the Latino Education and Advocacy Days project, wrote on the passing of Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, “a friend, amigo, mentor, elder, social justice activist, columnist, prolific writer, poet/author, and academic of Mexican American/Raza Studies.”
Murillo wrote: “On the morning of this past Monday July 31st, at the age of 69 years, our generous and wise camarada Cintli transitioned to the spirit world to join the ancestors. He touched so many lives and had inspired many, amongst different generations. Many know his work as one of a visionary, leaving a legacy for all Civilizaciones de Maiz, a body of work on trauma, spiritual violence, police brutality, ethnic studies, Aztec-Mexica teachings, contemporary politics, and collective healing – that speaks for itself.”

The local economy is showing some positive signs, according to the new Inland Empire Report on Business. This month’s Inland Empire Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) registered 54.2, an increase from last month’s 52.1, said Dr. Barbara Sirotnik and Lori Aldana of the Institute of Applied Research at Cal State San Bernardino.
“The good news is that this is the third month the index has remained at or above 50.0, thus a trend of growth in the Inland Empire manufacturing sector has now been re-established,” they said.
