Trabajadores-Workers Stories of Latino Workers in D.C.

The purpose of this research is to dismiss preconceived notions and negative generalizations about Latinos in the United States, and explore the diversity within an ethnic group. The Latino population in the United States has grown substantially in the past two decades, and represents the largest minority population in the country. By explaining the discrimination that Latinos experience, their commonalities, and their dissimilarities, this project will educate the audience on the nuances among the Latino population in the United States. This work will dispel the assumption that all Latinos have exactly the same background, desires, and skills. Ultimately, this project will spur further understanding of the Latino population, which is crucial for the country's growth and unity in the twenty-first century.
