National Black Latino Summit



Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spoke yesterday at the National Black Latino Summit held in Los Angeles, CA. The Los Angeles Times reports that Villaraigosa spoke about the continued tensions between African Americans and Latinos and that the poverty and lack of opportunity were the primary causes of the continued issues between the groups.

Villaraigosa has to be commended for at least stimulating dialogue concerning the race relations issue amongst the groups.
