Hispanic Ruins

CNN has launched a site about Latin heritage, issues and culture, which "will be reporting on issues related to the Latino community from September 29th through October 3rd", according to Hispanic Trending. The CNN website says:

What does it mean to be Hispanic in America today? Is there an "Americano Dream"? Is it being achieved? CNN takes a look at the challenges confronted by the Hispanic community and its growing influence in the realms of politics, culture and business.

I've browsed around, and it looks good. There's a section where Latinos are invited to "share stories, photos of heritage, traditions, tasty foods". There are beautiful photos and interesting stories in this section.

Another interesting thing is the poll they have on the front page:

Besides immigration, what do you think is the most important issue for the Hispanic community in the United States today?

At the moment of writing this post, Education was the most important issue for the voters, with 52% ; followed by "Economic opportunity" with 21%, Discrimination with 19% and "None of the above" with 8% of votes.

I'm sure there's more good stuff in the site. I'll be checking it out, and I suggest you do the same. You can comment or send your own story. Enjoy!
