Hispanic y Latino News Summary :: April 30th, 2010
Tagged: summaryWow, I haven’t seen this much news since Sonia Sotomayor almost a year ago. I am no where near finished collecting but wanted to get this out now because well there is just so many big stories. I encourage you to check out the site/homepage between newsletters because this is an amazing time. One of the ad networks on the site is causing problem with PAGE not FOUND errors, I think I cleared it up, but not sure. Please let me know if you get one of these. More than likely there will be another newsletter tomorrow or Sunday as I keep doing what I do best – collecting, organized and bringing to you the news that matters to us. – Gracias, Tomás
