Foreclosure Hits Latinos and African Americans Hard




Our country has changed dramatically in the last 40 plus years. We have improved in race relations in many areas and have buried Jim Crow forever. Unfortunately, the county's worst recession ever is affecting African Americans and Latinos in high numbers. According to the Sunday Edition of the New York Times, foreclosures have hit African Americans and Latinos in New York City deeper and harder then Whites. We have to ask why is this happening? Although this economic crisis is affecting everyone around the world, our minority population is suffering. We must make sure that we help each other even if we are hurting ourselves. I believe that if we do this, everyone will be rewarded greatly.
