A Latino leader talks about the gains, the pains - Will Gonzales - Philadelphia

For leaders in the Latino community such as Will Gonzales, these are challenging times. Not only is the public demanding immigration reform, but economic problems such as the meltdown in the subprime-mortgage market threaten to eat away at the economic gains Latinos have made in recent years.

Gonzales runs Ceiba, a coalition of five Latino community groups founded in 1991. Gonzales, 45, has been the leader since 2001. The group is named after a tree native to the Caribbean noted for its resilience.

In an interview with PhillyInc, Gonzales, who also is a lawyer, spoke about his background, gains made by Latinos, and the work still ahead.”*
