An informational website designed to bring understanding to the local community about the Hispanic population in their midst.  We welcome any questions and comments you may have.

Definition:

Immigration, the movement of people into another nation with the intention of residing there permanently. The contrasting term emigration refers to the movement of people permanently leaving a nation.

Most modern immigrants, like the colonists of the past, are motivated to relocate far from their original homes by the desire to improve their economic situation. Such people, known as economic immigrants, resettle in other countries in search of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.

Our Mission

As this community continues to grow, more and more unfamiliar faces will begin to appear.  The faces of migrant workers don't tell the whole story of why they take the chances that they do in coming to the United States.  One can only imagine the despair which motivates a people into leaving everything they know in order to have a better future, in a land they know not.

Our mission is to try to bring enlightenment to the community, to better understand the Hispanic migrant workers.  

Company Profile

We are a non-profit organization with an emphasis on educating the community on diversity and thereby reducing prejudice, whose basis lies in ignorance.

Below are links to the Mississippi Hispanic Association and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).  These organizations help to provide sources of information to the Hispanic community as well as the general public.  There is even a link for contacting a professional dance instructor.  Private lessons as well as group classes are available.

Founder was born in Brooklyn, New York and served in the United States Marine Corps.  He moved to Yazoo City, Mississippi in 1997 where he continues to work for the Federal Government in a civilian capacity.  He and his family have come to love this community, it's people and their simple way of life but it became evident that the locals' knowledge of the Hispanic culture was limited to the few chance encounters they had with migrant farm workers.
