“The immigration debate might be bubbling across the nation, but the University of Missouri’s “Cambio de Colores: Latinos in Missouri” conference starting tomorrow hopes to put politics aside to address one key issue: Hispanics - legal or illegal, wanted or unwanted - are part of Missouri’s social fabric.

“This is not a political event. This is not a debate,” said Domingo Martinez, director of the MU Cambio Center and executive coordinator for the conference. “It is to help communities.”

Martinez explained the seventh annual conference is MU’s response to the changing dynamics in the state. By bringing academics and researchers together from around the region, the conference at the Stoney Creek Inn in Columbia aims to foster discussion on best practices regarding change and integration, communities, youths, education, health and civil rights.”*
