Celebrating PublicService
Our economy is in turmoil. Our urban core
is in the brink of bankruptcy. Our tax
based needs to expand. Health care costs
and the number of uninsured continue torise. Pensions are dragging municipal
governments down. Now, more than ever,
the people of Rhode Island need effective
government.
We will not have the government that the
times demand and the Rhode Islanders
deserve without talented public servants.
To build this government, we must
celebrate public service and restore
government's image as a place where our
best and brightest join together to make adifference for our communities, our
country, and our world.
OUR CITY IS FORTUNATE TO
HAVE DEDICATED CITIZENS WHO
SERVE ON OUR BEHALF. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Simply put, good government starts with
good people. Our state is fortunate to havededicated citizens who serve on our behalf
as Senators, Congress people, Governors,
Mayors, City Councilors, etc.
Public servants deserve our thanks
throughout the year and we invite you to
continue honoring them for the work they
do each and every day and that is why this
year we at Milenio Publishing decided to
celebrate the work of four elected officials
that are fighting to rescue our Beloved
Providence from the abysmal crisis itconfronts.

RhodeIslandLatinoPoliticalEmpowerment
Rhode Island Latino Political
Empowerment captures the turning
point of the Rhode Island and the
Nation previously dormant potential
Latino politics into reality starting in
1996 when the Hispanic vote astounded
political experts with both its explosivegrowth and its unpredictability. In
Rhode Island the growing participation
sprang in reaction to proposals in
Congress to deny benefits to
immigrants. Latinos also rallied against
the Rhode Island congressional
candidacy of former Providence Mayor
Joseph Paolino Jr., whose campaign
featured a call for English as an official
national language.

BarackObamaCampaignSpeechesBarack Obama had a gift, and he knew
it. He had a way of making very smart,
very accomplished people feel virtuous
just by wanting to help Barack Obama.
It had happened at Harvard Law School
in the mid-1980s, at a time when the
school was embroiled in fights overpolitical correctness. He had won one of
the truly plum prizes of
overachievement at Harvard: he had
been voted president of the law review,
the first African-American ever so
honored. This book contains 126
inspirational speeches by candidate
Obama during his presidential
campaign that inspired millions of
people across the country and the world

CELEBRATING SMALL PRESS MONTH
RhodeIslandBlack&BrownEthnicSuccession:19841994Ethnic succession theory is a theory in
sociology stating that ethnic and racial
groups entering a new area may settle inolder neighborhoods or urban areas until
achieving economic parity with certain
economic classes. The concept of
succession is well established in "both
ecological and economic models of
urban residential change." As the newer
group becomes economically
successful, it moves out to a better
residential area. So is the experience of
the Southside of Providence, and in this
pages we capture such succession
between the Black community and the
emerging Hispanic community during
the period 1984 through 1994, that lead
to the eventual political rise of theLatino political rise and the election of
the first Latino Mayor. September 15,
