“Guerrero captured something very special in these great artists,” says Exhibit Producer Daniel Swadener. “The Promega exhibit will show how Guerrero reveals both the truth and beauty of these artists and their work.” Guerrero documented Wright and his architecture for over 20 years into 1959. He spent 13 years recording the art and life of Alexander Calder and 5 years with Louise Nevelson.

Guerrero’s photographs have been exhibited and accessed by galleries and producers nationwide. His work has been displayed at the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Guggenheim Museum. In addition, his photographs were featured in a 1998 PBS documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright by Ken Burns. An exhibit of 60 of Guerrero’s Wright-related photographs is on permanent display at the Monona Terrace Convention Center.

Guerrero will be joined by several other family artists who are also exhibiting their works. Pieces include profound, wooden carved masks by nephew and award winning artist Zarco Guerrero and intricate beaded and carved jewelry by Carmen De Novais Guerrero. Additional artists include Pedro Guerrero’s son Ben, grandsons Alexander and Antonio Guerrero, granddaughter Hannah Guerrero and grand- nephew Quetzal.

HISPANICS ARE ONE-IN-FIVE OF ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS NATIONWIDE

HISPANICS ARE ONE-IN-FIVE OF ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS NATIONWIDE




WASHINGTON - The number of Hispanic students in the nation's public schools nearly doubled from 1990 to 2006, accounting for 60% of the total growth in public school enrollments over that period. Presently, 10 million Hispanic students attend the nation's public schools, 20% of all public school students.

In 2006 Hispanics were about half of all public school students in California , up from 36% in 1990. They were more than 40% of enrollments in three additional states ( Arizona , New Mexico and Texas ) and between 20% and 40% of all public school students in five states ( Nevada , Colorado , Illinois , Florida and New York ). Overall, Hispanics are the largest minority group in the public schools in 22 states.
Strong growth in Hispanic enrollment is expected to continue for decades, according to a recently released U.S. Census Bureau population projection. In 2050, there will be more school-age Hispanic children than school-age non-Hispanic white children.
In order to illuminate this growing group of public school students, the Pew Hispanic Center today releases "One-in-Five and Growing Fast: A Profile of Hispanic Public School Students," a statistical portrait of the demographic, language, and family background characteristics of the nation's 10 million Hispanic public school students.

Key findings from the report:

The vast majority of Hispanic public school students (84%) were born in the United States .
Seven-in-ten (70%) Hispanic students speak a language other than English at home.
Nearly one-in-five (18%) of all Hispanic students speak English with difficulty.
Nearly three-in-five Hispanic students (57%) live in households with both of their parents compared with 69% of non-Hispanic white students and 30% of non-Hispanic black students.
More than seven-in-ten U.S. born Hispanic students of immigrant parents (71%) live with both parents. Smaller shares of foreign-born students (58%) and U.S.-born students of native parentage (48%) reside with both parents.
More than a quarter of Hispanic students (28%) live in poverty, compared with 16% of non-Hispanic students. In comparison, more than a third of non-Hispanic black students (35%) reside in poverty and about one-in-ten non-Hispanic white students live in a poor household.
Foreign-born Hispanic students (35%) are more likely than their native-born counterparts (27%) to live in poverty.
The report, One-in-Five and Growing Fast: A Profile of Hispanic Public School Students, is available on the Center's website, www.pewhispanic. org.
