"We should acknowledge differences, we should greet differences,
until difference makes no difference anymore."
Dr. Adela A. Allen, educator
Welcome!
Hispanic Missourians provide a diverse and culturally important
contribution to our state and play an increasingly important role
in our communities, our economy and our state government.
Between 1990 and 2000, the Hispanic population in Missouri has
increased by 92 percent, and with that increase has come increased
prosperity and economic opportunity.
Missouri is committed to working with Hispanic leaders and the
communities they represent, to provide an environment with all the
benefits and opportunities this state has to offer. Through
the hard work of the Hispanic Business, Trade and Culture
Commission, Missouri will continue to work with Hispanic
communities to improve the lives of all Missourians. Hispanic
Missourians have contributed much to Missouri in the past, and as
their numbers grow, their contributions will only increase.
