“Feb. 13 was to be the traditional Hispanic Day at the Statehouse. Started in 1982, with the Kansas Advisory Committee for Hispanic Affairs, this day offered Hispanics an opportunity to know legislators up close.

This year, instead, he program agenda squeezed together the different concerns of Latinos and African-Americans, and the results were revolting.

The keynote speaker, Julie Chavez-Rodriquez, programs director for the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation, was excellent. The tacos and fried chicken delicious. But the time with our legislators was lost.”*
