LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
El Soporte Informativo Para Millones de Hispanos
Por Luisa Fernanda Montero
No es fácil estar en un parada de bus, hablando por teléfono tranquilamente y convertirse, de repente, en víctima de insultos sin sentido, por el sólo hecho de hablar español.
No es nada agradable ser testigo de los innumerables actos de violencia y discriminación que vivimos los hispanos día a día.
¿Cuántos se quedan en la anécdota y cuántos pasan a tener graves consecuencias?

<p> Estas son preguntas que circulan dentro de la sociedad norteamericana en este momento.</p>

<p> Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia just asserted for a second time that our Constitution does not protect women against discrimination.
