   Coincidentally, today’s Chicago Tribune contained the obituary for the matriarch of the Shure family.

   Much as I love Lalo and his strip, this attack on the Kennedy Center is puzzling. It might resonate a little better if last years Kennedy Center Honorees had not been 40% Latino (Martina Arroyo, Carlos Sanchez) and 60% minority overall (add in Herbie Hancock). Granted, there were very few Latinos during prior years, but how much of that is active discrimination and how much of that is due to the fact that 30-40 years ago (the time frame in which many of this year’s honorees began their careers) there were very few Latino stars that had achieved lasting mainstream popularity in America? Aren’t we likely to start seeing more and more minority honorees, including Latinos, as time goes by?
