The S.C. Minority Affairs Commission plans to unveil in a month what it calls the most comprehensive report on Hispanics’ impact on South Carolina’s schools, hospitals and labor market. - Meeting to discuss it - August 30th

“The report, which will be released during a Latino issues conference, sheds new light, said Lee McElveen, the commission’s Latino coordinator. The study is an important step in a state where immigration is being debated in the legislature and in city council chambers, she said.

McElveen expects teachers, social workers, university professors and others who work with the Hispanic population to attend. But she hopes people who have concerns about the state’s booming Hispanic population will come, too.”
