Very fitting

The first baby born in Charlotte in 2007 was Latino: Josue Eduardo Martínez Calleja. His parents had to respond through an interpreter. These days, about 1 in 5 babies born here are Latino.

My Dad and I just signed a book contract with the University of New Mexico Press to write a book on Latino immigration, focusing on the South, based on the political demography work we've already been doing. I've found this endlessly fascinating.
