Happy Cinco De Mayo! We know you’re itching to celebrate, folks, but before you go busting out the margaritas, might we suggest kicking back with the briefest of history lessons first? Because, you know, knowledge is power and today isn’t just about lime and liquor.
MTV has a lightening fast 10-second lesson for all you revelers out there detailing why we party on the 5th of May — and why today is such an important date in Mexican history.
Take a look before you take another sip.
