The history will say that on Tuesday, the 20th of January 2009 the movement for the civil rights, which had his first advance signs in the sixties thanks to the personages' courage like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King; it obtained a big victory to finally to assume Barack Obama the Presidency of the United States.
We greet and wish the best luck Barack Obama, and we are glad that the sleep of Matin Luther King, expressed for the first time in the steps of the Monument to Abraham Lincoln, becomes true.
Nevertheless, this does not mean that the evolution of the civil rights ends with the arrival of Obama to the White House. Everything opposite. His victory is the sign that the struggle for achieving the equality between the citizens before the eyes of the law and the institutions has no end.

The Hispanics we know it well. The constant legislations that proliferated during 2007 and 2008, thinking about how to punish with the services denial undocumented immigrants, can have been a reverse inside the long battle of the migratory reform, but the final verdict on our struggle is still to be defined.
The minorities have been left historically aside by the opinion about the majority, but often the history demonstrates that not because an idea is shared by several, this is the correct one.
The day of Obama came. Will come the day in which a Hispanic becomes a guest of the White House also?
The evolution of the civil rights like that seems to indicate it.
