Book Description
In 1956, the Rosarios came to Providence and opened the first Hispanic food market in Rhode Island. This Dominican family's move signaled a new era of Latin American migration for the Ocean State. In the mid-1960s, Guatemalans came to Rhode Island as refugees from the dirty war at home, and Puerto Ricans arrived in the 1920s looking for agricultural work. From the Colombian factory workers who settled in Central Falls in the mid-1960s to the Cubans who fled Castro's revolution in the 1950s and 1960s, Latin Americans were flocking to the coastal towns and quaint neighborhoods of Rhode Island looking for brighter futures and a place to call home. Join author Marta V. Martinez as she turns a collection of oral histories into a fascinating story of the birth of Rhode Island's vibrant Latino community.

the results of my research that has inspired me to publish this first edition of The Rhode Island Legislative Black and Latino Caucus book, consisting of the published biographies of the 16 Black and Latino elected State Representatives, and five State Senators, in celebration of such progress and to make it widely available.

The media, overall, overlooks public servants of color. Finding it to tear them down when they experience missteps in their careers and the lack of directory of such Public Servants across the state. This is the beginning of what I envisioned to be a series of historical documentation of Color elected and appointed Public Servants,

Latino College Completion
Author: Excelencia in Education
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 2
Book Description
In 2009, Excelencia in Education launched the Ensuring America's Future initiative to inform, organize, and engage leaders in a tactical plan to increase Latino college completion. An executive summary of Latino College Completion in 50 states synthesizes information on 50 state factsheets and builds on the national benchmarking guide. Each factsheet provides state level snapshots about Latinos in the educational pipeline and the equity gap between Latinos and White non-Hispanics in achievement. Additionally, examples of how evidence-based practices improve Latino college completion at institutions of higher education are provided. Highlights from Rhode Island's fact sheet include: (1) Rhode Island had the 38th largest Latino population in the U.S.; (2) In Rhode Island, 19% of the K-12 population was Latino; (3) In Rhode Island, 12% of the state population was Latino. (Projections show a continued increase.); (4) The median age of Latinos in Rhode Island was 25, compared to 42 for White non-Hispanics; and (5) In Rhode Island, 17% of Latino adults (25 to 64 years old) had earned an associate degree or higher, compared to 41% of all adults. (Contains 5 footnotes.) [For the executive summary, see ED532055. For the National Fact Sheet, see ED532060.].
