Hispanics discuss their impact on South Carolina

“Just days after a massive march and rally in three of South Carolina’s largest cities, Hispanic leaders met Thursday to discuss the impact the group has on the state’s educational system, public policies and economy.

“African Americans had civil rights and look at what is happening now. Hispanics are beginning to have their civil rights. This is a civil rights movement,” said Dr. Jose Rivera of the Family Health Center, who participated in the event.

The forum, which was hosted by South Carolina Education Television, will air May 3.”
