Historic numbers of Latino voters delivered for President Barack Obama and share in the victory we all honor today.
Indeed Latinos contribute to the rich fabric of this country, whether on the front lines in Iraq, in the farms of California, or at the voting booths in Florida.
As we celebrate the diversity that is America, let us move forward from a nation of black and white to fully embrace the many shades of color: Latinos - whose phenomenal growth and $1 trillion buying power fuels our nation's economy.
But in watching the news coverage today I never once saw a Latino anchor or commentator, never once saw a Latina being interviewed on the Mall, never once felt that we too are celebrating the great new beginning. We all wanted change when we voted for President Obama, let us hope that the national news media gets that the change that commences today is for all America, not just for Black or young America.
