Latino Population in Rural America is Growing: New Carsey Fact Sheet
“Despite their traditional residence in U.S. urban areas, Latinos represent a large and growing segment of America's rural population, a new fact sheet from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire finds. Using recent data from the Census Bureau's 2006 American Community Survey (ACS), the fact sheet by Carsey Institute rural fellow Rogelio Saenz presents a profile of the Latino population in the non-metropolitan United States.”

New Book Explores “America Beyond Black and White - How Immigrants and Fusions Are Helping us Overcome the Racial Divide”
“Published by the University of Michigan Press, the book is characterized as an 'impassioned call for a new way of imagining race and ethnicity in America. For the first time in U.S. history, the black-white dichotomy that historically has defined race and ethnicity is being challenged, not by a small minority, but by the fastest-growing and arguably most vocal segment of the increasingly diverse American population -- Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Arabs, and many more -- who are breaking down and recreating the definitions of race.'”

U.S. Internet Users Are Glued to Video
“BurstMedia found that more than seven out of 10 adult US Internet users surveyed had viewed online video content. A majority of all age segments had watched online videos, including more than half of respondents age 65 and older. Young men were viewing most often. More than a third of the 18- to-24-year-old male online video viewers in the survey reported that they watched once a day or more."

National Citizenship Coalition Surpasses One Million Goal
“The Ya es Hora: ˇCiudadania! (Citizenship, It’s Time!) Campaign announced that it surpassed its goal of helping mobilize more than one million eligible immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship in 2007. Even with thousands of applications still being processed, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirmed receipt of 1,029,951 citizenship applications from January to October, 2007—nearly double the number of citizenship applications received in 2006…The coalition partners include Entravision Communications, ImpreMedia, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and Univision Communications Inc.”
