Hispanic Lives
Founded
in 2001, the Pew Hispanic Center is a nonpartisan research
organization supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts. Its mission
is to improve understanding of the U.S. Hispanic population
and to chronicle Latinos' growing impact on the entire nation.
The Center does not advocate for or take positions on policy
issues. It is a project of the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan
"fact tank" in Washington, DC that provides information
on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the
world.
