Overview

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Latinos will make up two-thirds of the 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!

Hispanic Americans make the United States a stronger and more exciting nation. This book will help you understand all that Latinos have to offer to the United States!
