Hispanic Museum keeps advancing

We first blogged about this over a year, but it seems the National Museum of the American Latino has come one step closer to reality. By a vote of 291-117 the House approved legislation that will create a commission to study the feasibility of building such a facility.

The measure was also included in a bill on natural resources that the Senate passed 91 to 4, last month. It authorizes creation of a bipartisan 23-member commission that will spend $3.2 million over two years to come up with recommendations and sponsor a conference where interested individuals or groups can submit ideas and develop a fundraising plan.

We will continue to follow the story.
