A Museum in our Nation's Capital for Hispanic Culture and History
On his web site, New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman states, “Washington is home to many museums that honor our country’s diversity. A museum recognizing Hispanic culture and history would be an important addition.” Our two New Mexico Senators, Jeff Bingaman and Pete Domenici are co-sponsoring a bill which is intended to create a museum honoring the contributions Hispanics have made to the United States.
We heartily applaud this move!
WASHINGTON, DC - On April 10th, the United States Senate passed a bipartisan bill to make the vision of a National Museum of the American Latino a reality. The Commission to Study the Potential Creation of the National Museum of American Latino Act of 2007 (S.500/H.R. 512), sponsored by Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) and co-sponsored by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Mel Martinez (R-FL), would establish a 23-member commission to study the potential creation of a national museum in Washington, DC dedicated to the art, culture, and history of Hispanic Americans. The bill passed by voice vote in the House of Representatives on February 6, 2007. The bill now returns to the House for procedural approval, then to the White House for the President's signature.
