The day the Supreme Court handed down its decision Arizona’s SB 1070, I received about a dozen text messages saying, “We won!”

Knowing the history of the Court and dealing with this sort of wrongheaded thinking since the Bakke Case of 1978, I knew that I had to be skeptical and quickly read the incoming news, which using boxing jargon said that it was a split decision, that the court had struck down three key provisions of the law and kept one.

Democrats and Republicans come up short

I am tired of the Democratic Party taking us (Chicanos, Latinos and most people of color) for granted.

The Obama administration threw us a bone in making certain immigration concessions, in protecting kids who were brought over at an early age and currently in some type of academic setting.

<p> <em>In this article Rita Sanchez proudly recognizes the women who have contributed to the Parque and its murals. She features women who have designed, supervised and painted murals since 1973, as well as women who participated in the creation of the Parque. With media attention devoted mainly to the men working on the repainting, her article is a needed reminder of the significant role of Chicano Park women.</em></p>
