Grits with Salsa
What happens when Hispanic immigrants settle into a community known more for its Southern charm than its diversity? The Roanoke Times has been exploring this question with its ambitious and impressive "Land of Opportunity" series. Photographer Josh Meltzer and writers Beth Macy and Evelio Contreras have created stories about employers learning Spanish to communicate with their immigrant workers, a mother desperately praying for the life of her son who disappeared along the Texas-Mexico border, and the immigrant man who has struggled to develop a chain of restaurants. The Times has packaged these stories well with lively slideshows and a reader's forum that features heated debates.
Thank you Brian Summers for the suggestion.
