Audience: All High School History Teachers, History Department Heads, Specialized Instruction Teachers

Presenter: Juan Gonzalez, Author, Investigative Reporter and Journalist, Illinois

The U.S. Latino population has been growing at an astounding rate for more than fifty years, to the point that one of every four people under the age of 18 in the U.S. is now of Latino origin. Still, few Americans understand why and how so many people from various countries of Latin America have come here, why particular ethnic Latino groups settled in different cities and regions of our country, or how they have contributed greatly to U.S. prosperity. This session will explore the history and evolution of this complex community, with a special emphasis on the little-known conditions that continue to drive or pull Latino migration northward.
