	General Overview (Library of Congress Hispanic and Portuguese Collections: An Illustrated Guide)
		Jefferson possessed an insatiable curiosity about America, and in his attempt to learn as much as possible about the diversity of human societies, as well as the environment of the region, and the conquest of a large portion of it by Spain and Portugal, he had amassed a learned collection of books and maps.
		The Hispanic Room, designed by the architect Paul Philipe Cret and completed in 1939, was intended to draw the researcher into the beauty of the Spanish and Portuguese Renaissance reflecting the taste of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Iberia, through its vaulted ceiling, wood panelled alcoves, a dado of Puebla blue tile, and wrought iron balconies.
		The primary function of the Hispanic Division continues to be the development of the Library's Hispanic and Portuguese collections, the facilitation of its use by the Congress of the United States, other federal agencies, and scholars, and the explanation and interpretation of its nature and content through published guides, bibliographies, and studies.

		After studying the history of U.S. Hispanics, she offers a proposal to transform the government's protection of the Spanish language in the classroom and beyond, suggesting that the best way to bring Hispanics out of the barrio is to stop the senseless comparison between their experience and that of fls.
		If Hispanics fought for the same entitlements, it wasn't because their leaders were opportunistic but because, paraphrasing Ralph Ellison, they were also "invisible."

	HISPANIC AMERICA IS NOT LEFT-WING
		Recently (February 8th), a report was released by the NATIONAL HISPANIC LEADERSHIP AGENDA (NHLA), a coalition of 32 large Hispanic organizations, that graded the Congress on a “Hispanic” scorecard.
		The NHLA doesn’t represent the Hispanic community Like many so-called national Hispanic groups, the NHLA is but one more leftwing, socialistic group that deifies people who vote for more government and for more shackles on individual Hispanics and to over-tax Hispanics who make money.
		Hispanic unemployment, though lower in January than anytime since President Nixon’s administration, is 62-percent higher than “whites.” The highest taxes since World War II are draining the fruits of Hispanic labor and business and they must be cut.

		Today, the idea of America continues to grow - but the bulk of that growth has shifted a little south, and a little west - ironically, toward the very regions that were settled by the Spanish long before the English established their colonies further north.
		Our escalating commitment to the Hispanic community in America is a demonstration of what we mean when we talk about the important idea upon which Bank of America is founded: that people are at their best when they are striving to exceed the accomplishments of the past.
		It is a vision of America in which all our people have access to the tools and resources they need to pursue their dreams - in which economic freedom and opportunity are available to all - and in which all of us have an equal stake in the American Dream.
