Diego Graglia is documenting the lives of Latinos during this presidential election year as he travels from New York City to Mexico City. For more on La Ruta del Voto Latino-The Road to the Latino Vote, visit www.newyorktomexico.com.
From Diego Graglia:
Latinos started settling in big numbers in the South about two decades ago. They have changed the face of the region since then. Here, I visit the small town of Kinston, where I meet with Juvencio Rocha Peralta. Born in Mexico, he is one of the first migrants to arrive in the area almost three decades ago and a longtime community activist in the rural Eastern part of the state. I talk to him about the issues that concern local Latinos towards the 2008 presidential election. Listen to our conversation in this podcast.
