| Synopsis: |
According to U.S. Census Bureau predictions, Latinos will supply two-thirds of population growth in the United States for the first half of the twenty-first century. At this rate, Latinos will number 80 million by the year 2050. The Census Bureau estimates that the Hispanic population will increase by 194 percent. This growing segment of America's population brings great cultural wealth to the United States. Already, Latinos have made a significant impact on American culture. Hispanic athletes are leading the way in American sports; moviegoers flock to see Latinas and Latinos in movies, while other Hispanic Americans have gained fame for their television roles; saucy Latin rhythms can be heard every hour on pop radio stations; and a growing number of Latino politicians are taking their place in America's government. This book will tell you the story of some of these trailblazers, Hispanic Americans who inspire us all with their achievements and leadership. |
