Black vs. Brown in Lynwood CA

Black-Latino Tensions Rise - Newsweek Politics - MSNBC.com: "July 3-10, 2006 issue - Leticia Vasquez calls hers a 'typical immigrant story.' Her parents, poor strivers from Mexico, raised five splendidly thriving children one of whom, Leticia, 34, is now mayor of Lynwood, Calif., the small town where she grew up. It is a heartwarming tale that readily brings to mind a host of cliches about the American dream. But the story does not end with wine, roses and applause. Instead it segues into the troubled terrain of race, corruption and polarization."
