Latinos and the Nation’s Future

www.americanprogress.org The Latino population is now so large, its trajectory of growth so rapid and its contrast in relative age to that of the general population so stark, that it will not be possible for the United States to advance without substantial, and so far unimagined, gains for the nation’s Latino community. The Census Bureau’s mid-range estimates for 2050 assert that the nation’s Latino population will grow by 63 million people or a stunning 48% of total US growth, and that Latinos will constitute 25% of the United States population in 2050. Henry Cisneros and Arte P�blico Press of the University of Houston celebrate the launch of their new book, Latinos and the Nation’s Future and take part in an engaging debate on what Latino growth means for our country, and what the next administration needs to do about it. Latinos and the Nation’s Future is a landmark collection of essays by leading Latino figures such as Raul Yzaguirre, Lionel Sosa and Aida Alvarez, among others, about the most pressing issues facing Latinos today and how the future of the nation is inextricably linked to that of the Hispanic community. Featured Panelists: Henry Cisneros, Executive Chairman, cityview, former San Antonio Mayor and former Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development Sarita Brown, President, Excelencia in Education Dr. Nicol�s Kanellos, Founder and Director, Arte P�blico Press Janet Murgu�a, President and Chief Executive Officer, National Council of

    I was in France a while ago and people there are saying that the US Government created a new virus to get rid of overpopulated areas in Asia and South America. It sounds so weird but then there is a belief among some scientists from all over the planet that by the next century the Earth will no be able to sustain more than 10 billion people. Again it is all talk, we have no proof of anything. These days we cannot even trust our own doctors.
