Dreams Built in the Projects
This excellent article on today's online version of the Washington Post tells it like it is. We all love success stories but when they are true, it seems that we are all caught by surprise. If anything, the Obama's administration has brought up some examples -starting with himself- that with effort and perseverance anything is possible.
I also believe that the surprise factor comes from too many years of "same old, same old" nominations. Wow, there still are people in this country that are hard-working, engaged and passioned about what they do, and their only goal is NOT greed. What a concept!

State’s Crackdown on Immigrants Fuels Hispanic Media Growth
http://news.newamericamedia.org/news
Do you think the media should be the government agencies' watchdog? Read this article about North Carolina ethnic media. When the nation's immigrants are getting ready to march next May 1st, what is the role of media in this national debate?
"Most Spanish-language publications in the area have a specific section dedicated to immigration coverage. Radio stations such as La Tremenda La Raza in Charlotte broadcast daily talk shows that cover the latest developments on the immigration debate."

San Francisco Latinos Pick Up Pieces After Foreclosure
Subprime loans, which are made to borrowers who have bad credit, and predatory lending are the main forces behind the foreclosure crisis that is hitting the nation. There are 7.5 million subprime loan borrowers and $1.4 trillion in loans outstanding, according to a 2006 study conducted by the Center for Responsible Lending, a research organization and resource on predatory lending. About 40 percent of all subprime loans nationwide were issued to Latino households.
