American Indians got one in 2004. African-Americans are set to get a new one within a decade. Yet Hispanics, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing minority, have no museum of their own in the nation’s capital to honor their culture and history.
But the National Museum of the American Latino came one step closer to reality Tuesday when the House, on a 291-117 vote, approved legislation that includes creation of a commission to study the feasibility of building such a facility.
