“Parents and Latino leaders across the nation are calling on education and political leaders to give Hispanic children greater choice in education. The American Hispanic Manifesto, a document released by the group last week, has already garnered thousands of signatures. “This national “grito’ (shout) is about harnessing the power of hundreds of thousands of American Latinos into one voice on one issue: education,” said Rebeca Nieves Huffman, Hispanic CREO President.
The events of the last month have shown the powerful voice of the Hispanic community as millions gathered across the nation to express their views on the immigration issue. According to Robert Aguirre, Chairman of the Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options, the goal of the American Hispanic Manifesto is to create a social and political movement. “This manifesto will unite a huge mass of Latinos in a single voice for the common cause of social justice by education reform,” he added. Over 3,500 people have already signed the document. “
