Changes spur Chicano Center to embrace the term Latino - Omaha

“After years of debate, Nebraska’s most widely known advocacy agency for Latinos is changing its name to better reflect immigration patterns.

The nonprofit Chicano Awareness Center, born in 1971 out of the Chicano civil rights movement, now will be called the Latino Center of the Midlands.

It’s a move that supporters say will be more inclusive of new immigrant populations served by the south Omaha center. It’s also expected to lure more clients and funding sources.”
