Featuring candid and revealing interviews with prominent Hispanics such as the new Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Jennifer Lopez, and George Lopez, "The Great Progression" presents a fascinating look at the impact Hispanics are making on the social, economic, and political climate of the United States. Hispanics' involvement in society is at an all-time high-and growing exponentially. Geraldo's fearless and judicious reporting addresses the nation's most critical issues under the Obama administration and enlightens those who seek real change and a new, more progressive American era. A far-sighted and perceptive look ahead at our country's potential for growth and the evolving role of the Hispanic community under the Obama administration, "The Great Progression" is Geraldo Rivera's vision of how the nation's largest minority is shaping the future of our country.
