Raymond Lozano, executive director of the Mexicantown Community Development Corporation was presented with the Ohtli award by the Consulate of Mexico in Detroit, Roberto Nicolás Vázquez, at the Mexican Independence Day celebration in Detroit on September 16. The Ohtli Award is an honor the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the Institute for Mexicans Abroad give to Mexican citizens, Latinas, and Latinos who work in the United States and other countries and have provided assistance to Mexican citizens or promoted their culture. The award's name comes from the Nahuatl word "road" or "path." The name's symbolism alludes to opening a path for others.

"Mexican Independence Day, or “el Grito” as it is better known in Mexico, is extremely important to the people of Mexico and all Mexicans abroad. It represents Mexican virtues and values as a nation. It is a tradition that brings us together, no matter where we are in Mexico or around the world. It is not only a testament to the heroes who sacrificed everything for our freedom and independence, but also a tribute to the country that Mexico is today and to the Mexico we want for the future." ---Roberto Nicolas Vásquez, Cónsul de México in Detroit
“El Día de la Independencia de México, o “el Grito”, como se le conoce mejor en México, es extremadamente importante para la gente de México y todos los mexicanos en el extranjero. Representa las virtudes y valores mexicanos como nación. Es una tradición que nos une, sin importar en qué parte de México o del mundo estemos. No es solo un homenaje a los héroes que sacrificaron todo por nuestra libertad e independencia, sino también una ofrenda al país que es hoy y al México que queremos para el futuro.” --- Roberto Nicolás Vásquez, Cónsul de México en Detroit
