Latins are Stepping Up
It’s been a hard year to be Latin in the United States with all the name-calling and divisive leadership coming from our illegitimate president and his followers.
But what is happening is that America’s Latin community is standing up and taking action.
The Hombre Men of the Year honorees are making contributions to the culture of our United States. They also set an example for what we can accomplish.
There are no bad hombres here, just a few good men, good Latinos, good Americans.
