You-VAL-dee You-VAHL-day Oo-VAHL-deh How we say Uvalde matters, because it represents a long lineage of how Latinos have been racialized in the U.S. and in South Texas, specifically. This is a beautiful piece from the always-insightful @isabellamariags

How we pronounce Uvalde says a lot about the power of language in mixed communities

The name of the town comes from a misspelled Spanish name. The way people say it traces a long history of racializing Latinos in the U.S.
