Forum to address needs, contributions of Latinos - Baltimore

“An unprecedented number of Latinos have flocked to Baltimore County in the past few years, making the county’s Latino population the third-largest in the state, according to recent census data.

The growing population — and its unique needs and contributions to the community — will be the subject of a county Police Department-sponsored forum tonight at the Community College of Baltimore County’s Essex campus.
