"I want to know how many Hispanics will be living in the United States by 2050?"
Marta - Los Angeles, USA
Hi Marta,
In 2000 a national government census concluded that there were over 35 million Hispanics living in the United States, making American Latinos the fifth largest Spanish-speaking population in the world, behind Mexico, Colombia, Spain and Argentina.
That may sound impressive, but it's nothing compared to the estimated 100 million Hispanics who will be living in the United States by the year 2050. With this population explosion, you will see Latinos taking even more prominent positions in all areas of American life and culture.
It's an exciting time to be Hispanic in the United States!

Gabriel Figueroa
Read Full Article
Gabriel Figueroa is one of Mexico's greatest artists. Indeed, some have called him the "fourth muralist", after the three great ones, Rivera, Siqueiros, and Orozco. Figueroa was friendly with all three, and the cinematographer admittedly borrowed pictorial elements from the muralists, and, surprisingly, the painters admitted they borrowed from the filmmaker as well.
Like the muralists, Figueroa's subject was Mexico itself, which he lit and photographed as the biggest, greatest movie star in the world. He made her landscapes gorgeous and, yes, even glamorous with a shimmering texture that rivaled the erotic; but also harsh, lonely, and sometimes cruel. But he was not merely a landscape photographer; he also explored the topographies of the human face, the luscious openess of smiles, the weight of centuries of sadness behind a poor woman's gaze, the grisly and grimmest gravity of a bad man's grin. Like the muralists, Figueroa took elements that seemed classically Mexican and made them universal.
