City Cast Madison Madison’s Latino Community Doesn’t Need To Be Saved
One of Wisconsin’s fastest growing groups is the Latino community. From 2010 to 2020, the state’s Latino population grew by 33%. And each member of this community has their own unique story and needs, but often, folks end up lumped together when talked about in the media. Host Bianca Martin talks with Centro Hispano executive director Karen Menéndez Coller about the range of needs within the community and the work Centro does daily to serve this fast-growing population and set the record straight when it comes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity across the nation.
