President George W. Bush has appointed Alex López Negrete, president and CEO of Lopez Negrete Communications to serve on a commission to study and report on the establishment of a National Museum dedicated to American Latinos. The Museum would document more than 500 years of American Latino contributions to the United States and be home to thousands of artifacts, images and personal stories.

A year and a half after a lengthy, often rancorous debate over immigration reform filled the chambers of a stalemated Congress, the issue appears to have receded in importance among one of the groups most affected by it–Latinos.

A new post-election analysis of record turnout among Latino voters shows strong support for President-elect Obama and Democrats, but also reveals high expectations in the Latino community.

Barack Obama. Rahm Emanuel. All we need now is a Cuauhtemoc roaming the halls of the White House. Seriously, it is quite an exciting time to be living in the U.S. as some people with some uncommon names are on the verge of assuming tremendous power. And isn’t ironic that a leading Hispanic in contention for a Obama cabinet post has the distinction of having a name like Bill Richardson. Or that one of the members of Obama’s economic advisory team with whom he met last Friday is a guy named Antonio Villaraigosa.
